Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2023–2024 164 required for graduation, after six total attempts, will be referred to the SPC and will be subject to dismissal from the program. 6. USMLE Examination Guidelines The USMLE examination is a three-step series of examinations for licensure of M.D.s in the United States. This examination series is not a requirement for licensure of osteopathic physicians, nor is it a requirement for graduation from the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine. Students will not be allowed any additional board study time, beyond what is allowed for COMLEX-USA study, for any USMLE Step examination. Students will not be allowed any release time to take any USMLE Step examination. If a student elects to do so, it is highly recommended that the student schedule the examination for a date after completing all of the coursework that is assessed on the examination. G. Illegal, Inappropriate, and Unprofessional Behavior No student shall display disorderly conduct; public intoxication; or lewd, indecent, or obscene behavior on the campus or at any college-sponsored or college-supervised function or event. No student shall intentionally or recklessly endanger or threaten the mental or physical health or wellbeing of any other member of the college community or any visitor to the campus. Students who exhibit illegal, inappropriate, or unprofessional behavior will be referred to the SPC and/ or proper authorities for disciplinary action and may be subject to dismissal. H. Violation of Public Laws Students are required to notify the KPCOM associate dean of Student Affairs and the dean, in writing, within 10 business days of any arrest, regardless of the reason or status of the case, that occurs while they are enrolled in the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program. Any act that constitutes a violation of public laws may establish cause for referral to the SPC and disciplinary action. Failure to notify the associate dean of Student Affairs will result in referral to the SPC and cause the violation to be considered as a more serious infraction resulting in more serious disciplinary action. I. Failure to Report a Violation Every member of the college community (e.g., students, administrators, and faculty and staff members) has the duty to file a complaint with the appropriate person or office whenever it is felt a violation of the code has occurred. If a student is unsure of the appropriate office and/or person with whom to file a complaint, the individual shall contact the Office of Student Affairs for additional assistance. Failure to report a violation of the code of conduct is itself a violation. All members of the college community have an affirmative duty to participate in the inquiry or investigative complaint process.
