You will need to maintain grades of “Satisfactory” or “C” or better in all courses and clerkships throughout medical school. If you are having academic difficulty, academic counseling or tutoring may be suggested. You should seek academic assistance from instructors/course directors immediately during a course or clerkship, rather than waiting until examinations or final grades are issued.
Despite the self-discipline and good study habits that you have developed, there are occasions when you may need assistance. In addition, guidance is necessary to help you make up for work lost due to an illness or any other unforeseen event.
You can request an appointment with your Small Group Advisor or an Associate/Assistant Dean for counsel and advice concerning academic problems unresolved by discussions with course/clerkship directors. All students select faculty advisors during the Application Phase. These advisors assist primarily in residency planning and preparation of the senior year schedule.
