- Proposed Policy Revisions
a. Academic Concern-Probation
This policy revision was to just separate Academic Concern from Academic Probation for Academic Progress. It also added an automatic removal from concern after successful remediation and an additional semester of academic success.b. Medical Student Work/Duty Hours
The proposed clarification of this policy is to clearly state that didactic and preparation time is limited to 25 hours/week and no more than 10 hours of additional small group/lab activities. (This proposal is a result of feedback from our LCME consultant).
A motion was made to approve these proposed policy revisions, seconded and approved.
