Academic Policy Manual Part I
(1st and 2nd Years)
Overview
Entering students at the Stritch
School of Medicine of Loyola University Chicago are presumed to have sufficient
intellectual competence and industry to successfully complete all course and
graduation requirements within four consecutive academic years. Promotion from
year one to year two and from year two to year three may occur only if all courses
have been passed. All courses must be passed and all other graduation requirements
must be satisfactorily completed in order for a student to be awarded the M.D.
degree. Failure to comply with and/or remediate within the guidelines of this
Academic Policy Manual will normally result in actions by the Associate Dean
for Student Affairs to change a student's academic status as authorized by the
Medical Council of the Stritch School of Medicine.
Matriculated students are assumed to be of
high moral character and are expected to conduct themselves in a professional
manner, maintain high ethical standards and practice academic honesty in all
of their academic endeavors. It follows, then that Stritch students will also:
-
conscientiously care for patients, their
illnesses and all circumstances which arise in association with their illnesses,
with the highest standards of professional, ethical, and moral conduct;
-
relate in a proper and professional manner
to a patient's family and next of kin, especially under the always emotional
and often tragic circumstances of the patient's illness. and;
-
maintain effective professional relationships
with peers and fellow members of the health care team in order to assure
delivery of quality medical care.
It is the purpose of this Academic Policy Manual
to inform all students of:
-
general academic policies and procedures;
-
the criteria which they must meet in
order to be promoted and to be graduated from the Stritch School of Medicine;
-
the conditions under which the Medical
Council of the Stritch School of Medicine authorizes remediation, dismissal
or some other action taken by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, and;
-
School and University appeal procedures.
Students enrolled at the Stritch School of
Medicine must also adhere to the conduct code of Loyola University Chicago as
published annually in the Loyola University Chicago Student Handbook.
School of Medicine. Class rank is
not recorded on the transcript. Original copies of records/documents submitted
on entering Stritch will not be released, nor will copies be made of such records.
