Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 146 A student who is on an ABE is not eligible to take any COMLEX examination unless the ABE is for failure to pass a COMLEX examination by the designated deadline or by special permission from the Office of the Dean. A student who has been scheduled for one or more remediation examinations, or one or more course retakes, is not eligible to take an ABE except for documented medical reasons or for special circumstances approved by the Office of the Dean. A student requesting an ABE beyond one year in length must meet with the SPC, who will make a recommendation to the dean regarding resumption of the program. 4. Communication with KPCOM during a Leave of Absence or an Administrative Break in Enrollment A student who is on an LOA or an ABE must communicate every two months with the Office of Student Affairs for the duration of the leave/administrative break in enrollment. This communication is to be initiated by the student and occur during the first week of every other month, starting with the month following the onset of the leave/administrative break in enrollment. Failure to report may result in the student being referred to the SPC for disciplinary action. 5. Return from a Leave of Absence or an Administrative Break in Enrollment An OMS1 or OMS2 student who was withdrawn from coursework during the LOA/ABE will have to repeat all courses in their entirety during the next course offering and may not progress to the next class year of study until all such coursework is successfully completed. An OMS1 or OMS2 student who was not withdrawn from coursework during the LOA/ABE will be expected to take all missed examinations and complete any required coursework according to a schedule determined by the Office of Preclinical Education in consultation with the involved course directors. Once these courses are completed, the grade(s) of IP will be replaced with the earned grade(s). An OMS3 or OMS4 student, who was withdrawn from clinical rotations during the LOA/ABE, will have to repeat all rotations in their entirety, as scheduled by the Office of Clinical Education. An OMS3 or OMS4 student, who was not withdrawn from clinical rotations during the LOA/ABE, will be expected to take all missed examinations and complete any required rotation assignments, according to a schedule determined by the Office of Clinical Education. Once these requirements are completed, the grade(s) of IP will be replaced with the earned grade(s). If the student is under review for a disciplinary action, or has a disciplinary action imposed at the start of the LOA/ABE; the student may not resume the program without appearing before the SPC. Upon completion of its review, the SPC will make a recommendation to the dean as to whether the student may resume the program. If appropriate, a student may resume the program with a disciplinary action imposed at the beginning of the resumption for a stated period of time. All decisions made by the dean concerning a student’s ability to return following an LOA/ABE are final. If the student is not in good academic standing at the time of the LOA/ABE, a committee composed of the executive associate dean of the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, the executive associate dean of the Tampa Bay Regional Campus, and the associate dean of Student Affairs will review the student’s record and make a recommendation to the dean as to whether the student may resume the program.
