Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 143 Failure of 10 to 13.5 Credit Hours A student who fails 10 to 13.5 credit hours in the M2 fall/winter terms combined will not be permitted to remediate the courses. The student must repeat the failed courses at the next course offering. However, if one or more of the failures is in a repeated course, see Failure of a Repeated Course below. Failure of 14 or More Credit Hours A student who fails 14 or more credit hours during the M2 fall/winter terms combined will be sent to Student Progress committee and is subject to dismissal from the KPCOM, as described in the section addressing Academic and Behavioral Disciplinary Sanctions, under Dismissal. Failure of a Repeated Course A student who fails a repeated course will be eligible to remediate the failed course. A student who fails the remediation of a repeated course will be sent to Student Progress Committee and is subject to dismissal from the KPCOM, as described in the section addressing Academic and Behavioral Disciplinary Sanctions, under Dismissal. 4. NBOME COMLEX Examination Failures Students are required to reach out to the Department of Medical Education. Academic advising is mandatory for students who have failed an NBOME COMLEX Examination. Students who fail to adhere to this policy will be referred to the Student Progress Committee for further action. 5. Rotation Failures If a student fails a rotation, the student will be referred to the SPC and must, at a minimum, remediate (repeat) the rotation and meet with an academic adviser. Additional requirements may be recommended to the dean by the SPC. The final remediation determination is at the discretion of the dean. Students will retain the right of appeal as outlined in the KPCOM Student Handbook. Students repeating a failed rotation are not eligible to earn a grade of pass with honors (PH) on the repeated rotation. The timing of the repeated rotation is at the discretion of the Office of Clinical Education. Repeated M3 core rotations will take place after the other core rotations are complete and prior to progressing to the M4 curriculum. In the event that a student fails a COMAT twice, of a discipline that is a two-block core (i.e., family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, or pediatrics) leading to a rotation failure, the retake of the failed rotation will be one four-week block in that discipline, including passing of the COMAT and submission of other required documentation. In this instance, a grade of in progress (IP) will be given for the first block, and a grade of fail (F) will be given for the second block. If the student successfully completes the retake and the COMAT examination, the student will receive a pass (P) grade for that repeated rotation, and the in progress (IP) grade will be changed to a pass (P) grade. The dean reserves the right to review all grade assignments brought to the dean’s attention involving a violation by the student of the prescribed grading procedures after the grade has become final.
