Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Physician Assistant 2024–2025 243 or Accreditation - Continued does not, in the judgment of the ARC-PA, meet the Standards or when the capability of the program to provide an acceptable educational experience for its students is threatened. Once placed on probation, a program that fails to comply with accreditation requirements in a timely manner, as specified by the ARC-PA, may be scheduled for a focused site visit and is subject to having its accreditation withdrawn. Specific questions regarding the Program and its plans should be directed to the Program Director and/or the appropriate institutional official(s). The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at arc-pa.org/accreditation -history-nova-se-university-orlando/. Dress Code Students in the Physician Assistant (PA) program—Orlando are expected to comply with the dress code as outlined by the PCHCS policy. In addition, students in the didactic phase of the curriculum will be required to wear a uniform for physical diagnosis lab and other laboratory exercises throughout the curriculum. This uniform will include a program-approved gray, short-sleeved T-shirt. No logo or writing should be on the back of the T-shirt. Pants must be navy blue gym-type shorts with an elastic waistband and drawstrings. All students must be prepared and able to remove their T-shirt for thoracic, cardiac, chest wall, and abdominal examinations. Therefore, female students must wear a sports bra beneath their T-shirt. Because of the nature of the exams, tank tops are not permitted in lieu of a sports bra. Athletic shoes and socks must be worn at all times in the lab, except as dictated by the instructor. Academic Promotions and Progression The progress of each student through the curriculum requires continuous, satisfactory academic and professional performance. No student may advance to the clinical year of study without satisfactorily completing all of the requirements for the didactic year’s courses. In addition, no student may complete the clinical-year curriculum and graduate without satisfactorily completing all of the requirements for the clinical-year coursework. Any student failing a course or failing to exhibit satisfactory professional behavior will be referred to the CSP.
