As we continue to navigate SARS-COV2, guidelines for educational activities have been updated. Physical distancing requirements will continue. Facial coverings are welcome inside all U of U Health buildings, and are required in all U of U Health clinical settings.
Rooms will be allocated based on priority and safety room capacity.
The priority scale for in-person activities within U of U Health academic spaces is below:
- Student/learner activities that require in-person contact and/or provide students/learners with an enhanced experience (e.g. physical exam skills teaching/practice/feedback, resident and fellow training).
- Non-student/learner activities that require in-person contact (e.g. physical exam skills teaching/practice/feedback for employees)
- Other desired activities (meetings, grand rounds, etc.)
When replicating a clinical patient care environment (i.e. clinical skills, simulation), we expect learners to don appropriate PPE (masks and eye protection). By doing so, learners will be prepared for in-person clinical encounters.
Recommendations:
- Limit indoor gatherings to less than 90 minutes duration.
- Minimize close proximity of individuals in classrooms (even for clinical skills practice)
- Maintain a seating roster to ensure the ability for contract tracing
- Consumption of food is discouraged. If food is consumed, individual containers are recommended, as is physical distancing while eating.
