Clinical Practice Examination Policy

School of Medicine Policy Manual   

All medical students are required to take and pass a Clinical Practice Examination (CPX) to be given at the end of their first clinical academic year.

Written feedback concerning individual performance will be provided to each student.

Students not meeting the acceptable level of performance will receive guided learning to overcome areas of low performance during one or more of the fourth-year required clinical rotations.  A modified version of the exam will be given after the completion of the guided learning experience.

Satisfactory completion of this additional guided learning fulfills the requirement to pass this examination.
