Maternity/Paternity/Adoption Policy

Maternity/Paternity/Adoption Policy
We wish to provide assistance to students who request modification of the
timing of their curriculum for reasons of maternity, paternity or adoption.
We believe that there should be flexibility in this assistance based
on the following principles.
- Each request for modification will be considered on an individual
basis. Requests should be made to the Sr. Associate Dean for Medical
Education.
- The educational requirements of the year in question must be met
before a student can proceed to the next step in the curriculum, or
to graduation.
- Subject to the requirements of licensing bodies, students may be
able to meet educational requirements through adjustments in the timing
of courses, clerkships, selectives or electives. Adjustments in timing
must be made through the Office for Student Affairs will approval of
the Sr. Associate Dean for Medical Education and the respective director.
- All arrangements will be dependent upon the availability of learning
experience(s) of adequate quality to allow all educational objectives
to be met.
