o Failing to comply with Blood Borne Pathogen safety policies and procedures, or any
other actions that affect patient, intern, or staff safety.
o Unexcused absence from a clinical shift.
The severity of the sanction will depend on the severity of the offense and can range from loss of
clinical hours and patient contacts, to suspension from the clinic or expulsion from the university. The
involved supervisor and the program Associate Dean, or their designee, will determine the type of
sanction. Sanctions are not grades and are, therefore, not subject to appeal under the appeal of grade
policy. A student may issue a grievance according to the grievance procedure as outlined in the student
handbook.
FAILURE EVENT
A failure event results in a loss of credit for the daily shift including hours and patient contacts.
Additional penalty may include a sanction of up to eight additional hours. The Associate Dean must
initial all sub hours used to remediate the failure event on the failure event time sheet, available from
the clinic registrar or associate dean.
MIDTERM/WARNING LETTER
A warning letter is provided to the student by clinical faculty in the event that the student is not
performing up to AC level in any area for which the intern is being evaluated. The letter is provided as
early in the quarter as the deficient performance becomes evident. In the School of Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine a midterm letter evaluating performance is given to all students, regardless of
academic performance.
LOSS OF CREDIT, SUSPENSION, DISMISSAL
There are specific actions and behaviors that can result in partial loss of credit, failure (F) for an entire
shift, suspension and/or dismissal from the clinic. The following actions will result in a clinic sanction:
o Failure to follow the clinic attendance and absence/substitution policy.
o Failure to follow the clinic policies and procedures as described in the Global Module
Handbook or the school specific handbook.
o Failure to follow the instructions or recommendations of the supervising
doctor/physician/faculty.
o Causing intentional harm to a clinic patient, neglect of a patient’s care and safety, or
any form of verbal abuse.
o Inappropriate behavior or unethical conduct when interacting with clinical faculty,
staff, patients, or students.
o Failure to follow the telephone and email contact policies and procedures.
The following violations will result in loss of clinic credit, suspension, and/or dismissal, depending on
the circumstances and severity of the violation. In the case where suspension or dismissal may be
appropriate, the program Associate Dean, Dean or their designee will make a recommendation to the
Vice President for Academic Affairs according to the circumstances of each incident:
o Dishonest conduct.
o Practicing medicine without a license. This includes practicing clinically outside of
school prior to completion of a degree or certificate.
