The Student Evaluation
and Promotion Committee (SEPC) of the PA Program meets and reviews the progress of
students each semester. Their evaluation includes academic, clinical, and
professional standards. Recommendations for remediation or termination because
of poor academic progress, professional misbehavior, or non-compliance with
the policies of the College and clinical site are forwarded to the Program
Director.

Professional behavior is every bit as
important as academic progress. State Medical Boards ask school officials
whether an applicant for licensure had been investigated or disciplined by the
Program while in school, and if so, to detail the action and reason for the
action. |
Rotation grades are determined by the
formulas stated in the individual course syllabi. In general, they include
the preceptor's evaluations, written assignments, oral case presentation if
applicable, end-of-rotation examination,
and submission of other required documents. Method
