Navigating the UAB Student Portal: A Comprehensive Guide

The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) student portal serves as a central hub for managing various aspects of a student's academic journey. This article provides a detailed guide to navigating the UAB student portal, leveraging the ACEMAPP system, and fulfilling essential requirements.

ACEMAPP Integration and Support

UAB utilizes ACEMAPP to streamline clinical placements and related processes. For any questions or assistance with completing steps within ACEMAPP, students can contact ACEMAPP Support directly.

Resending Verification

In case of login issues, a "Resend Verification" button is available in the acemapp.org login section. This allows students to easily request a new verification email if the initial one is not received or has expired.

Essential Requirements and Compliance

Completing all requirements set forth by UAB, your school, and the clinical site(s) is crucial. These requirements often include background checks, drug screens, and required immunizations.

Background Checks and Drug Screens

To access your background/drug screen results, contact ESS at 1-866-859-0143. They can provide the necessary information and documentation related to these requirements.

Immunizations and Professional Liability

Ensure that all required immunizations are up-to-date and properly documented. The professional Liability form can be found in NUR 004, or you may reach out to your faculty advisor for guidance and access.

Clinical Rotation Placement Requests

To request a placement for your school, locate the appropriate application within the ACEMAPP system.

Facility-Specific Applications

For placements at specific facilities like Piedmont, Grady, Phoebe, or a Floyd facility, there are dedicated applications tailored to each institution.

General Placement Requests

If you are requesting placement at a different facility, complete the general application to request placement.

Preferences and Approvals

While completing your rotation application, you can select your clinical site and preceptor of preference. Once your application is submitted, it undergoes a review process. Initially, the application is assigned to a rotation but is not yet cleared for attendance. Your school subsequently reviews the rotation request and moves it to the "approved" stage.

Clinical Encounters and Case Logs

Accurate and timely completion of clinical encounters and case logs is essential for tracking progress and ensuring accurate record-keeping.

Daily Completion and Preceptor Indication

Clinical encounters should be completed daily. It's crucial to indicate a preceptor on your case logs to ensure that your hours are accurately tracked.

Rotation-Specific Submission

Submit case logs specific to your precepted rotation ID number. This ensures that the logs are correctly associated with the relevant rotation.

Assistance with Incomplete Logs

If you encounter any difficulties completing your case and/or time logs, reach out to your school for assistance. They can help assign you to a rotation if needed.

Faculty Approval

Your faculty will review and approve your case logs, ensuring their accuracy and completeness.

Time Log Submissions

Submitting accurate time logs is critical for documenting clinical hours and ensuring proper credit for your rotation.

Matching Information

Submit your time logs using the preceptor, encounter date, and precepted rotation ID number. These fields need to match what you entered for case logs to maintain consistency.

Ensuring Accuracy

If your preceptor is not listed or you do not indicate which case logs to attach, your total hours will not be calculated correctly. Ensure all correlating case logs are listed before submitting your time log.

Approvals

Both your faculty and preceptor will approve your time logs, verifying the accuracy of the recorded hours.
