ugadawg Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I was just wondering if anyone has been told that they can't do out of state rotations anymore because of the new SARA law? I plan on moving out of state, so I did a couple of rotations out of state last semester, but I was told that I would not be able to do any more due to the SARA law. However, reading about it makes it look like it's supposed to make rotations easier, not harder. Has anyone else run into trouble with this, or know anything about it really? Here's a link to what I've been looking at: http://nc-sara.org/content/basic-questions-about-sara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 This doesn't appear to be a law, but a voluntary, private organization. Also, it seems aimed at online programs. Who told you this would impede out-of-state rotations? Is there a specific state law? I sometimes get the feeling that programs don't like doing the work of setting up out-of-state rotations and then make up excused and point to "laws" that supposedly say they can't. Of course, they'd be happy for you to go to one of the sites they already have set up and have a contract for a certain number of students a year...

ugadawg Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 My clinical director told me about it. My guess is that they just have to do even more paperwork now, since they were fine with me doing out of state rotations last semester. I was just curios if anyone else had this problem or had heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted March 15, 2016 Administrator Share Posted March 15, 2016 Pacific does rotations in at least 12 states. They haven't stopped, because I just got my clinic (which is in Washington, not Oregon) set up as a new rotation site this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugadawg Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Pacific is on the list of SARA approved institutions, mine is not. Thanks for letting me know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0214 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Never heard of it, I'm doing rotations in 5 states from a MA-based program. Wasn't an issue at all, I had more issues with all the Pennsylvania paperwork to do a peds rotation- they have very strong background checks including fingerprinting and a lot of forms.
