Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2025–2026 138 a. Pets Pets are not allowed in housing provided by the KPCOM, and students risk being evicted, as well as risk KPCOM being evicted from the housing by bringing pets into the housing. Students who violate this policy will be sent to the SPC and subject to discipline. Additionally, should KPCOM be charged cleaning fees as a result of a student’s violation of this policy, the student will be responsible for reimbursing KPCOM in the amount of such fees. b. Nonstudent Use of KPCOM-Provided Housing The KPCOM provides housing for KPCOM students only. If students choose to have members of their family accompany them on their rotations, they must arrange for, and assume, all responsibility and costs associated with family housing and travel at a location other than the KPCOM-provided housing. These arrangements for family housing must be made on the student’s own time. c. Students Who Elect to Not Use the KPCOM-Provided Housing The student may elect to live elsewhere rather than in the KPCOM-provided housing. Under no circumstances may the location of the housing interfere with the student’s ability to arrive at assigned duties on time at the rotation site. Please note: Any student who violates the KPCOM housing policy outlined above risks disciplinary action for unprofessional behavior up to, and including, being reported to the SPC and dismissal from the KPCOM. 8. Meals at Clinical Training Sites The KPCOM does not request provision of meals for any of its students. If a medical institution wishes to provide meals, it may do so, but this is at the discretion of the medical institution. F. Transitioning to Graduate Medical Education 1. Match Participation—National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) All OMS4 students who are projected to complete their course of study before June 30 of their M4 year will be eligible to participate in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) match. Match eligibility verification is conducted by the KPCOM Office of Student Affairs, in conjunction with the Office of Clinical Education. 2. Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) is a formal letter of evaluation issued by the dean and serves as an evaluation for the application process for graduate medical education training programs. Specifically, the MSPE provides a succinct chronology of a student’s entry and progress through medical school, which includes the preclinical and clinical rotation records, preceptor comments, involvement in special activities, compliance with behavioral policies such as dress code and attendance, and the student’s personal qualities.
