The APRC determines the consequences of not achieving satisfactory academic and professional progress for students enrolled in Year 3 of the Pre-Clinical Program, who have not met the requirements for promotion
- failing to earn a Year 3 WMPG of 80%, a Year 3 cumulative GPA of 3.2 and a science GPA of 2.75
- failing to maintain the professionalism standards of the School of Medicine
- failing the PCSCE.
Consequences may include:
- Recommendation of Dismissal
- Repeating one or more courses to maintain a minimal 15 credits and maximum 20 credits workload
- Continuing their academic program on MAS
- Having their registration placed on hold and being required to meet with a professionalism panel, to address professionalism concerns. The panel determines if the student has not demonstrated the behaviors and attitudes considered by St. George’s University to be essential for the profession of medicine.
- Re-sitting the Pre-clinical Science Comprehensive Exam (PCSCE) prior to the start of the next term. Students are usually permitted to sit the PCSCE a maximum of two times, as determined by the Pre-Clinical Program Director.
