Self-care/mental wellness day update

We are so pleased that the self-care/wellness days have been utilized and want to notify you of a change in the approval process. The multiple types of absences and the communication about them has been confusing to many, thus the need for a change in process. After an extensive review of the reasons for self-care/wellness days, a change in the reasons for an absence approval is updated as part of this change.

Beginning with the 2019-20 academic year, self-care day requests will be made directly to the clerkship coordinator and director. Students will need to provide the reason for the absence. If any student wishes to keep information confidential, the student can provide Dr. Rogers (student affairs) with documentation about the absence. She will verify the absence for the clerkship director/coordinator without sharing details. Self-care/wellness days definitions are transitioning to personal unexpected occurrences and health provider encounters. Approval for all unexpected or unplanned absences will be at the discretion of the clerkship director. We hope that this process will be easier for students and will promote good communication between students, coordinators and directors.

Please send any questions to Dr. Rogers at rogersbr@umkc.edu
