I understand I must keep confidential any information I may observe during my ECHO Camp experience.

I will dress appropriately as specified by my assigned department/unit. Students may wear street clothes, as each student will be given a new pair of scrubs each day. NO low-cut, low hanging, spaghetti strap tops, and NO flip-flops will be worn. Must wear close toe shoes.

I understand that I must always wear a name tag while I am at the Medical Center job shadowing/observing during the duration of the camp.

I understand that any action unbecoming will not be tolerated. The use of obscene language will not be tolerated. WMMC is a tobacco-free environment, thus no tobacco products will be allowed in or on any owned or leased buildings, grounds, parking lots, ramps, plazas, vehicles and sidewalks adjacent to our properties.

Additionally, I understand that if these conditions occur during my assigned hours, if appropriate, I may be asked to leave the Medical Center.

I understand that approval for this program is for a specified length of time and that failure to meet any of the requirements shall cause removal from the ECHO Camp and forfeiture of ECHO camp fees.
