Incident Reporting
If the student’s performance is unsatisfactory on any given day, the Project Mentor and/or Faculty will initiate an informal conference with the student. This informal conference will provide the student with constructive feedback to assist them in ongoing improvement in clinical practice.
Should the student’s performance continue to be unsatisfactory, the faculty will formulate a written plan explaining areas of concern and behaviors necessary to correct these deficiencies. This process will be completed prior to the end of the course, allowing sufficient time for the student to improve. The faculty will contact studentservices@usuniversity.edu after communicating with the mentor to acknowledge the faculty/mentor concerns and develop a written remediation plan.
If the conditions of the remediation plan are not met by the student by the last clinical day, the student’s clinical performance will be unsatisfactory on the final clinical evaluation, and the student will receive a failing grade. At any time, if a student’s practice immersion performance in a practice immersion course indicates an inability to perform at a safe and/or professional level of practice, the faculty will assign a failing grade regardless of the point in time such a decision is made. In such case, the student will be ineligible to continue in the course. An early alert or referral to the advisor may be considered to ensure remediation is being done.
