Probation is reflected in students’ progress files for students who violate the standards of professional behavior as defined by the Code of Conduct. Probation is reported to licensing boards, accrediting bodies and ECFMG. Probation allows students who do not meet these standards to continue in the Doctor of Medicine program for a specified period with a prescribed course of action. Students will be monitored for adherence to stipulations specified in their probation letters. Although probation does not appear on a student’s transcript, the SOM must supply this information if it is requested by external agencies, such as a state licensing board. While on probation, students’ behavior must improve in accordance with the specific written stipulations given to students. Students who fail to meet the prescribed course of action risk a recommendation of dismissal.
