31.6. Failure of Clinical Experiences
Failure of a clerkship is considered a course failure and is associated with all actions and penalties that may occur with any failure of a course, as noted above.
If a student fails any clerkship, the Director of Clinical Education will make a recommendation to the Student Development Committee regarding continued matriculation in the Program. Depending on the reasons for the failure, the DCE may recommend continued matriculation with remediation, repeat of the failed course, or termination from the Program.
If the student is continuing in the Program, the DCE may recommend that the student complete remedial work prior to repeating the failed clerkship. Remedial activities may include, but are not limited to, repetition of a clerkship, additional focused clinical experiences, or independent study.
