UPMC Clinical Modules

Students are required to complete UPMC Modules each fall. All students must have all modules completed, checked by an instructor, and uploaded to Exxat before clinical activities begin. Clinical activities begin the very first day of each term. You will not be permitted to attend clinical if the modules are not completed and uploaded to Exxat. Each module must be done each fall semester regardless of when the previous year’s modules were completed. Please follow the instructions below:

For the School of Nursing to confirm you have completed the modules, students must follow the steps below:

Step 1 – Screenshot the Completion Tracking form. After you complete a test associated with the module, you will have an opportunity to click to access the completion tracking form. The tracking form will have the name of module you completed. You should place your name on the completion tracking form, and take a screen shot of the tracking form with your name visible on the form.
Step 2 – Send the screenshots of the Completion Tracking forms to the clinical faculty member serving as your clinical instructor. Additionally, with the screen shots you must send to the clinical faculty, one UPMC Documentation of Clinical Competencies for Faculty and Nursing Students form. Check off each module you have completed on clinical competencies form. Also sign and date the form.
Your instructor will check the screen shots that show the title of the module against the modules listed on the UPMC Documentation of Clinical Competencies for Faculty and Student form. If all the screen shots match the modules checked on the UPMC Documentation of Clinical Competencies for Faculty and Student form, your instructor will sign and date the clinical competencies form and return the form to you.
Step 3 – Upload the signed and dated UPMC Documentation of Clinical Competencies form in Exxat if you are in the class of 2025 and beyond.
If you are graduating Dec. 2024, please submit the UPMC Documentation of Clinical Competencies form to Jennifer Larson, jal312@pitt.edu.
