Student Progress Committee (SPC)

This committee oversees the students' ongoing academic progress to determine whether each student is eligible for continuation within the program. The committee evaluates any at-risk student to develop remediation or other potential programmatic or educational interventions needed. The chair is responsible for scheduling meeting times and appointing members which include faculty from the didactic and clinical phases of the program as well as the principal faculty and may include a representative from Enrollment and Student Services (non-voting participant). In addition, the committee meets on a quarterly basis to evaluate and discuss student progress and performance in all phases of the program based on student examination scores, preceptor evaluations, and professionalism evaluations.
