All CHM students receive an assigned community placement for completion of their educational experience. With the exception of those students who have been accepted to the Rural Physician Program or the Leadership in Medicine for the Underserved and Vulnerable Program, OR who have already received their community assignment through the Special Consideration application process, all entering students must submit the Community Placement Preference form, even if they are indicating that they have no community preference. Students may designate two preferred communities if they wish. These preferences will be taken into consideration as community assignments are made; however, the CHM Community Placement Committee makes the actual community placement decisions.
Please complete and return the Community Placement Preference form no later than June 6, 2008. Print a copy of your form for your records. Your community assignment will be sent to you by email no later than JUNE 23, 2008.
Students assigned to the Grand Rapids campus will report to the Grand Rapids campus for Block II of their preclinical curriculum in fall 2009. Students who are assigned to Flint, Kalamazoo and Lansing will report to their community campus for Block III in 2010. Students already assigned to the Marquette or Saginaw campuses will also report to their respective campuses for Block III in 2010.
A process for review and reconsideration of community assignment is available to matriculated students who have a change in life circumstances or a change in their educational program. Students will also have a process available for exchanging community placements after matriculation.
For more information about all of our community campuses, please visit the CHM Community Campuses web page. If you have any questions or concerns about the community placement process, please email Milissa Moryc, Executive Secretary, Office of Student Affairs and Services.
Please note that the file you submit is NOT a PDF form; it is an FDF data file through email, and then we import your data into the form. Please don't make any changes to the file name or extension before sending it, as this could cause problems with the data import.

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to submit your form using the Submit button, the problem is typically with your email client. Note that these solutions only apply if you do not already have a default email client set up. If you already have a default mail client set up, you should just need to click the SEND button in your email program.
To submit the form with a desktop email application (such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, Eudora):
After you've filled in the form, click the Submit button on the PDF form.
In the Select Email Client dialog box, select Desktop Email Application; then click OK.
In the Send Data File dialog box, click Print Form if you want a copy of the filled-in form; then click Send Data File. Your default email application displays a new email message with the To, Subject, Body, and Attachment fields automatically filled in.
Use your email application to send the email.
Click Close in the Email Confirmation dialog box in Acrobat.
To submit the form with a web-based email service (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!Mail, etc.):
Click the Submit button on the PDF form. If the form fields are blank, the Email A Blank Copy Of This Form dialog box appears; click Email A Blank Copy.
In the Select Email Client dialog box, select Internet Email; then click OK.
In the Sending The Data File dialog box, click Save Data File.
In the Save Data File dialog box, choose a location on your computer to save the file; then click Save.
Open a new browser window, log in to your web-based email service, and use your service to create a new blank email.
In the Sending the Data File dialog box in Acrobat, select the value in the To field; then right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and choose Copy.
In your blank email message in your Internet email service, click in the To field, and paste the data you copied. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the Subject and Message Text fields.
Use your Internet email service to attach the data file (that you saved in step 4) to your email message.
If you want a copy of the filled-in form, click Print Form in the Sending The Data File dialog box in Acrobat.
