Academic Policy

Criteria For The Levels of Achievement

The following criterion for the levels of achievement may be applied to any student with consideration as to the length of time in the school and what objectives are being fulfilled at that level. This may apply to clinical or didactic evaluation.

4 = A	Excellent in all areas, proficient in technical skills as well as being able to correlate theoretical knowledge to the clinical aspect of anesthesia.

3 = B	Above average in all aras but requires improvement in specific areas.

2 = C	Average in all areas, adjustment to anesthesia, and adept for length of time in training.

1 = D	Below average in all areas and in need of remedial help. If seriously consistent in this category, review factors involved. If after remedial and recycling, the evaluation is still below average, dismissal may be considered pending faculty discussion (regardless as to the length of the program).

NA	Not accountable, not observed, not experienced, or too soon to judge, comment, or anecdotal notation required.

Academic Honesty

We assume that all students come for a serious pupose and expect them to be responsible individuals who demand of themselves high standards of honesty and personal conduct. Therefore, it is our policy to have a few rules and regulations as are consistent with faculty and general student welfare.

Fundamental to the principle of independent learning and professional growth is the requirement of honesty and integrity in the performance of academic assignments, both in the classroom and outside, and in the conduct of personal life. Accordingly, we hold our students to the highest standards of intellectual integrity and, thus, the attempt of any student to present as his or her own work which has not performed to do or pass any examination by improper means is regarded by us as a serious offense. In any case of dishonesty, the instructor and the director, who confers with the student, will decide upon the appropriate sanction. Depending upon the seriousness of the offense, possibilities are:

1. Failure of assignment and reassignment.

2. Failure of the course, suspension, and appropriate make-up time calculated.

3. Expulsion from the program
