When problems arise in the student’s professional behavior, it is hoped that the problem can be solved between the student and his/her supervisor. If this is not possible, the Department Chair of the service should be notified using the referral forms. The Department Chair will attempt a resolution of the problem if he/she feels that it is appropriate. If he/she feels that this is not possible or inappropriate, further action must be referred to the Vice President for Student Affairs with the corresponding referral form.
The Vice President for Students Affairs will interview the student and discuss the situation. A plan of action will be formulated immediately and notified in writing to the student and the Department Chair. The plan should be implemented immediately. If no resolution is obtained the Vice President for Student Affairs will refer the student to the Student Promotions Committee.
The student will be notified in advance that his/her unprofessional behavior will be formally discussed by the Students Promotion Committee. The notification should make clear the reasons for this action. The Students Promotion Committee will consider the referral and make recommendations to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
If a situation arises when there is an immediate concern for a student or patient’s welfare, the Department Chair and/or the Vice President for Student Affairs will proceed with an emergency recommendation referral to the President. The Vice President for Student Affairs will notify the President of all cases under consideration.
