Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 175 Many clinical sites will not allow a student to rotate at their site when on academic probation. The Office of Clinical Education is required to notify clinical rotation sites when a student has been placed on academic probation. Academic probation must also be noted on students’ MSPEs, which may impact negatively on the students’ ability to attain a GME position. During academic probation, the student must successfully remediate failed rotation(s) and show appropriate behavioral, professional, and personal conduct, as defined in the conditions of the student’s probation. Students failing to meet these requirements will be subject to referral to the SPC. 2. Professional/Behavioral Probation A student who violates the KPCOM Code of Behavioral Conduct or the NSU Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility may be placed on professional/behavioral probation by the dean in consultation with the SPC. While on professional/behavioral probation, the student is prohibited from • holding office in any NSU class or club organization and any national office • representing KPCOM in any manner (e.g., peer mentor, student ambassador) • registering for classes outside of the required KPCOM curriculum • holding any employment at NSU • sitting for any board exam, unless otherwise stipulated in the conditions of probation. Since the circumstances resulting in a student being placed on professional/behavioral probation are unique for each student, the conditions of each student’s professional/behavioral probation will be stipulated in writing at the start of each probationary period. During probation for professional/behavioral reasons, the student must show appropriate behavioral, professional, and good personal conduct. Additionally, the student is required to refrain from any further violation of the code. Violation of the terms of probation may result in suspension or dismissal. C. Suspension Suspension bars a student from attending school for a defined period of time if, in the opinion of the dean, the student has not attained the academic level and/or has deviated from the academic standards and/or standards of behavior or ethics established by the KPCOM. A suspended student will be removed from academic enrollment (see Withdrawal from Courses) with revocation of all other privileges or activities, including the privilege of entering the campus for a specified period of time. A student who chooses to appeal a suspension must do so within 10 business days of the date of suspension. While appealing a suspension, a student may continue to attend classes and take all examinations in the usual manner.
