Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 140 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 chooses to break the KPCOM housing policy 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. The MSPE is generally available for students’ input by September of the M4 year. Students will be permitted to review their MSPE electronically, but are strictly prohibited from sending it on their own to any individual or residency program. A student who has appeared before the Student Progress Committee, has had disciplinary action taken after, and their MSPE has been uploaded into the ERAS system, will have an updated MSPE uploaded. This updated MSPE will include the disciplinary action taken. 3. Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) The Association of American Medical Colleges developed the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to transmit residency applications, letters of recommendation, the MSPE, transcripts, and other supporting credentials from applicants and medical schools to residency program directors using a web-based application. Students are responsible for uploading their CVs, COMLEX/USMLE transcripts, and personal statements into ERAS. The KPCOM Office of Student Affairs is responsible for uploading medical school transcript, photos, and the MSPE.
