Each candidate must receive a formal approval by the Health Surveillance Unit in order to start an elective rotation. Read carefully the Health surveillance’s instructions and proceed accordingly.
Please, note that the health protocol may take from 1 to 2 weeks, therefore is warmly advised to send the requested documents before your arrival. For those who wish to undertake a 1-month clinical elective, it is mandatory to send the immunization record (duly filled in English in a single PDF file that includes tests and results) at least 4 weeks before the starting date.
Should you have any question regarding the health protocol, please contact the Health Surveillance Office by e-mail health.surveillance-rm@unicatt.it.

- This is also essential in the event of an emergency where the intervention of dedicated teams can only be successful if everyone follows procedures properly.
