Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Physical Therapy 2023–2024 232 The passing grade for any psychomotor exam is at least 75 percent. A psychomotor exam is any test of psychomotor skills, including skills check, practical exam, and triple jump exam. Students who fail a psychomotor exam are required to successfully complete a corrective learning activity. The corrective learning activity is designed at the discretion of the instructor with consideration of the student’s need to review, practice, and attain proficiency in deficient clinical skills. Upon receiving a grade of fail on a psychomotor examination, students are required to contact the instructor within three business days for guidance in further development of deficient clinical skills. Failure to contact the instructor may result in a notice of unprofessional behavior. The original psychomotor exam score will not be changed. To pass a course with a lab, a cumulative average score of at least 75 percent is required for all psychomotor exams and assignments. For any course failure, the PCHCS policy on course remediation will be followed.
