The committee will provide help to improve the student and to reach a satisfactory standard during the program. The COE preclerkship will confirm that the student has failed due to poor performance or by examination and will determine the period of remedial work to help the student meet the standard of the program. Students must follow the guidelines for professional behaviour approved by the faculty and given in the course of study. More particularly students will be evaluated in the Medical Humanities Program for attitudes and behaviour and in particular the ethics of medicine. The medical humanities teachers will evaluate students on their performance during sessions and by the incorporation of questions in the block examinations, clinical examinations and by assignments.
Students failing in up to two examinations can write supplemetary examinations.
Students who are granted supplemental privileges will be given the opportunity for remedial study during the summer vacation. If the supplemental examination is failed then the student will have failed the year. If students fail to reach the standard expected after remediation then they will be deemed to have failed the year. First year students who fail the year or who are granted supplemental privileges must apply for re-admission to medical school by June 1. They will usually be interviewed by the Admissions Committee to determine why they will succeed on a second attempt before being re-admitted to first year.
