Bring to clinic
- Clinic supplies: The Prep/dispense aide will supply students with necessary equipment prior to the appointment. Student ID with provider number bar code is required to obtain instruments, hand pieces, etc. As necessary, students should obtain disposable supplies from cluster cabinets. Use supplies sparingly. Equipment may only be checked-out for the clinic session and then returned. If equipment is not returned, the individual will be "locked-out" of the computer system and unable to obtain instruments or equipment until all previously checked-out items have been returned. Remember that Piezos must be returned with bar codes from the sterilization bag.
- To avoid clutter, students' personal belongings such as coats, books, etc. should be stored in the student lockers on the ground floor, not in the patient treatment area.
- Preparation of the cubicle area- Your chair is assigned in Axium on either the 2nd or 3rd floor. You must schedule the patient and enter the appointment information into Axium. The patient may call the desk for confirmation.
