**Short absences** (Absences of 1-2 hours in duration): Students should first attempt to prioritize flextime for meetings and appointments. If an absence from a clerkship activity is required, students must request the absence via Phase 2, Year 3, and Year 4 Absence Request form. Make-up for a single short absence is not required. Make up for multiple absences totaling 8 hours will be equivalent to one full absence day and make-up will be guided by the table above.
