The form is available at nova.edu/smc/forms/hpdimmunization-physical. NSU MD students may be required to upload proof of immunizations to multiple online portals to satisfy the requirements of the affiliated hospital where they rotate. Failure to comply with this policy may result in students’ inability to satisfy the graduation requirements in their program. Competencies and Educational Program Objectives The NSU MD faculty defined the nine competencies to be achieved by its medical students and the aligned educational program objectives through which they are expected to achieve them. The syllabus for each course, clerkship, and elective contains the course objectives, NSU MD General Competencies and Educational Program Objectives addressed, schedule of activities, learning objectives for specific sessions or activities, names and contact information for the faculty members involved, a listing of course materials, the student assessment system, and grading policies. The competency-based grading process at NSU MD ensures that teaching, assessment, and remediation of all competencies are equally prioritized. All NSU MD courses and clerkships are mapped to the NSU MD Competencies and the AAMC Physician Competency Reference Set (PCRS). The grading system is in place to facilitate early identification of at-risk students and to provide a supportive formative remediation process to improve student performance without permanently marking their transcript or MSPE. Should students have unsatisfactory performance in courses or clerkships, or have ongoing repeated concern in competency performance and/or failed remediation, they will be referred to the Student Progress and Advising Committee (SPAC).
