After successfully completing Term 5, students are contacted by the Academic Advising Development and Support (AADS) advisory unit and given guidance on preparation for CBSE/Step 1. Students are required to maintain communication with AADS advisors until they sit for and pass CBSE and USMLE Step 1 or start clinical rotations in the US or UK. A lack of communication will be considered a failure to meet professional behavior standards. Failure to meet professional behavior standards may result in students not being promoted to clinical rotations and/or being recommended for dismissal.
