Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2025–2026 134 January—After Clinical Rotation Track Day OMS2 students will receive a clinical rotation ranking list reflective of all core rotation sites and the number of students the site will accept for the coming academic year. Students are to rank all sites in numeric order based on personal preference and input their rank order into the electronic lottery system by the established deadline. Early February—Preference List Processed Students are assigned rotation sites, based on their preference lists, in numerical order based on a computer-based random number generator. First, second, third choices, etc., are assigned until all available spots at all available hospitals have been taken. Swap Week For one week following the rotation selection process, the students will be allowed to swap core campus assignments with another willing classmate, allowing students who are not satisfied with their core rotation site to trade with another classmate who is willing to change spots. Students are not permitted to offer or receive any form of compensation to swap core rotation assignments with any other students. The Office of Clinical Education must be notified of all swaps. Written-Petition Opportunity For three business days after the swap week, students who are still dissatisfied with their core campus assignment can, in writing, petition the dean for a change of assignment. These are submitted to the associate dean of Clinical Education who presents them to the dean. The dean has final authority over the granting of the written petition. Final Distribution of Assignments The final list of core campus site assignments will be distributed to the students after the writtenpetition opportunity. All assignments are considered final after this date. 3. M3 and M4 Core Rotations a. All Core Rotations, Other than Emergency Medicine Core rotations are assigned by the Office of Clinical Education in four-week blocks. Core rotations may not be changed by the student. An M3 core rotation may be exchanged with the M4 Emergency Medicine Core Rotation by administration of the Department of Clinical Education when a rotation availability issue arises. See Clinical Rotations/Core Clinical Campus above and the 2025–2026 Student Academic Catalog for rotation information. If the student calls the clinical site in an attempt to change a core rotation assignment, the student will be referred to the KPCOM Student Progress Committee, and a disciplinary action may be taken, up to, and including, dismissal from the college.
