Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2023–2024 172 OMS3 and OMS4 Students OMS3 and OMS4 students shall be placed on academic probation due to a rotation failure. OMS3 and OMS4 students with any rotation failure must reach out to the Department of Medical Education to meet with an academic adviser. Academic advising is mandatory for students who are on academic probation. Students who fail to adhere to this policy will be referred to the Student Progress Committee for further action. OMS3 and OMS4 students who are placed on academic probation by the dean • may maintain membership in up to two clubs—must withdraw from additional club participation • must resign all national, class, or club officerships • must step down from representing KPCOM in any manner (e.g., peer mentor, student ambassador) • must withdraw from all classes outside of the required KPCOM curriculum at NSU • must resign from any employment at NSU Many clinical sites will not allow a student to rotate at their site when on academic probation. The Office of Clinical Education is required to notify clinical rotation sites when a student has been placed on academic probation. Academic probation must also be noted on students’ MSPEs, which may impact negatively on the students’ ability to attain a GME position. During academic probation, the student must successfully remediate failed rotation(s) and show appropriate behavioral, professional, and personal conduct, as defined in the conditions of the student’s probation. Students failing to meet these requirements will be subject to referral to the SPC. 2. Professional/Behavioral Probation A student who violates the KPCOM Code of Behavioral Conduct or the NSU Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility may be placed on professional/behavioral probation by the dean in consultation with the SPC. While on professional/behavioral probation, the student is prohibited from • holding office in any NSU class or club organization and any national office • representing KPCOM in any manner (e.g., peer mentor, student ambassador) • registering for classes outside of the required KPCOM curriculum • holding any employment at NSU • sitting for any board exam, unless otherwise stipulated in the conditions of probation. Since the circumstances resulting in a student being placed on professional/behavioral probation are unique for each student, the conditions of each student’s professional/behavioral probation will be stipulated in writing at the start of each probationary period.
