If you are exposed to a confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 positive patient in the clinical setting, refer to the AMS COVID-19 policy for students. All questions related to isolation, monitoring of symptoms and testing should be directed to University Health Services at 401-863-1330.

You will be asked to provide a doctor’s note from Health Services and subsequently given an excused absence. If necessary, we will work with you to find a time to make up clinical sessions.

We would encourage you to be judicious with travel, particularly to areas with high rates of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Any individual arriving from outside of Rhode Island (including domestic and international locations) must follow the current Rhode Island Department of Health guidelines, as applicable. More information can be found on the RIDOH website.
