Policies and Regulations

Satisfactory Progress Any time you drop a course or withdraw from the University, you may be jeopardizing your federally funded student financial aid, now or in the future. You must successfully complete at least two thirds of all the courses in which you enroll. Dropping after the first day of class may not affect your academic standing, but it may affect your ability to receive financial aid. Please review this policy and others pertaining to your financial aid in the Code of Student Life in the appendix section titled “A Summary of the Standards of Satisfactory Progress for Financial Aid Eligibility,” or contact the Student Financial Aid Office.

Policy on Equal Opportunity It is the policy of the University of North Dakota that there shall be no discrimination against persons because of race, religion, age, color, sex, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veterans’ status, or political belief or affiliation, and that equal opportunity and access to facilities shall be available to all. This policy is particularly applicable in the admission of students in all colleges and in their academic pursuits. It also is applicable in University-owned or University-approved housing, food services, extracurricular activities and all other student services. It is the guiding policy in the employment of students either by the University or by non-University employers through the University and in the employment of faculty and staff. Inquiries as to the equal opportunity, affirmative action, or diversity policies for the University of North Dakota or coverage of state and federal civil or human rights statutes or regulations may be directed to the Affirmative Action Officer. The Affirmative Action Officer, Sally J. Page (Office address: 101 Twamley Hall; mailing address: 264 Centennial Drive, Stop 7097, Grand Forks, ND 58202-7097; phone: 701-777-4171; e-mail address: sallypage@ mail.und.nodak.edu) is assigned the responsibility to be the University’s designated coordinator for receiving complaints of discrimination or harassment under the following federal regulations: Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (sex/gender discrimination) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, national origin, discrimination); Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (age discrimination); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1991 (disability discrimination); and other equal opportunity statutes for which a coordinator is not required. Any complaint or concern regarding discrimination or harassment, not resolved by the University, may be filed with the Office of Civil Rights, U.S. Office of Education, 111 North Canal Street, Suite 1053, Chicago, IL 60606-7204.

Discrimination or Harassment The University of North Dakota does not tolerate harassment. If you feel that you have been harassed, please report the incident to one of the following: If you are a student, contact the Dean of Students Office. If you are a graduate student and the harassment deals with academic issues, graduate assistantships, awards, and scholarships, contact the Graduate School. If you work within the academic arena, contact the

Office of the Dean. If you are a medical student or resident, contact the Associate Dean of Students of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. If you are a law student, contact the Office of the Dean of the School of Law. If the incident occurred in housing, contact the Housing Office. If you are a student or graduate student and the incident occurred during your employment as a student, contact the Financial Aid Office. If you are a staff member, contact Human Resources.

Also, the Affirmative Action Office is always available to help. If University officials receive a report of harassment, the University will promptly investigate the matter and take disciplinary actions, when appropriate, in accordance with the University’s procedures—as detailed in the full harassment policy—for reporting incidents of possible harassment observed or which come to their attention. Retaliation in any form against any person who reports harassment, brings a complaint charging harassment, or participates in the harassment complaint process, is strictly prohibited. A provision identifying the range of penalties that may be considered when the University determines an individual engaged in harassment is included in the full harassment policy. The full harassment policy and grievance procedure may be found at: www.und.edu/ dept/aao/pol.htm, or in the University’s Code of Student Life at: und.edu/dept/csl.

UND Statement on Institutional Diversity and Pluralism (approved by University Senate December 7, 2006) The University of North Dakota takes pride in its mission to meet the individual and group needs of a diverse and pluralistic society through education, research and service. The peoples served by and associated with the university vary widely; all must be valued for the richness their different cultures, heritages, perspectives, and ideas bring to the community. The university is, in part, a conduit through which individual perspectives and global interrelationships are enhanced by a learning and teaching environment that is aware of and sensitive to the diversity of its constituents. Diversity in the university is constituted by the full participation of persons of different racial and ethnic heritage, age, gender, socio-economic background, religion, and sexual orientation; of persons with disabilities, and of people from other countries. Of special and particular importance is the university’s longstanding commitment to the education of American Indian students and the cultures and traditions of the American Indian people. In addition, the University’s commitment to diversity extends to historically underrepresented populations such as African Americans, Latino Americans, and Asian Americans.

Furthermore, the University embraces our international student population because they enhance the culturally rich learning environment of the campus. The University is committed to providing teaching and learning experiences that enhance all students’ self-determination, educational advantages, and professional opportunities. Policies and procedures of the university oblige its students, faculty, staff and alumni to foster the awareness and sensitivity necessary for acceptance and understanding of all people in society. The University of North Dakota strongly disapproves and does not 3

tolerate acts of racism, sexism, bigotry, harassment and violence in any form and actively uses its human and other resources to provide opportunities for its constituents and public to learn and appreciate the values of a diverse and multicultural world.

Disability Access on Campus The University of North Dakota is committed to providing access to all people using its facilities, programs and services.

UND expects people to report access barriers so that appropriate action can be taken to correct the problems. Call the ADA Line (Facilities Department 24-hour call line) at 777-2591 (voice) or 777-2796 (TDD).

In addition, UND is responsible for making reasonable accommodations and adjustments to ensure there is no discrimination on the basis of disability, as established under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. For classroom accommodations, contact Disability Services for Students, 777-3425; for accessible campus bus service, contact Transportation at 777-4030; for accessible state fleet vehicles, contact Transportation at 777-4122; for accessible parking permits, contact the Parking/Traffic Office at 777-3551; and for accessible campus housing, contact the Housing Office at 777-4251. Job accommodation requests should be directed to the employee’s supervisor or the Affirmative Action Officer at 777-4171.

Code of Student Life The University of North Dakota Code of Student Life is a publication issued each year to all students. The Code outlines the rights and responsibilities enjoyed by the students, faculty, and staff who make up the University community. The purpose of the information contained in the Code of Student Life is to promote and maintain a learning environment appropriate for an institution of higher education and to serve as a basic guide to help prevent abuse of the rights of others.

Members of the University community are expected to be familiar with the rules and regulations contained within the Code and to act in compliance with them at all times. Nothing within the Code is intended to limit or restrict freedom of speech or peaceful assembly. Copies of the Code are available at:http://sos.und.edu/csl or the Office of the Vice President for Student and Outreach Services, 307 Twamley Hall and at the Dean of Students Office, 180 McCannel Hall.

Measles/Mumps/Rubella Immunization Students enrolled in a course offered for credit at NDUS institutions in North Dakota must provide documentation of immunity against measles, mumps and rubella in accordance with North Dakota University System policy. Students enrolled only in distance learning or other courses taught off campus, students enrolled only in continuing education or non-credit courses, and students attending camps and workshops are exempt from this policy. Documentation of immunity means: (a) evidence of two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine no less than one month apart from a licensed physician or authorized representative of a state or 4

local health department, (b) proof of a positive serologic test for measles, mumps, and rubella, or (c) proof of date of birth prior to 1957. Exemptions from immunizations. In the event a student wishes to be considered exempt from the stated NDUS policy, a written request is to be submitted to the Student Health Services Immunization nurse for review and approval. The request shall specify applicable legal criteria and medical provider support as appropriate. North Dakota University System (NDUS) policy requires tuberculosis (TB) testing of new students from all countries except those classified by U.S. health officials as “low risk for tuberculosis.” All UND students, regardless of country of origin, will be required to complete a TB Screening form to determine their level of risk. If a student qualifies as “high risk,” he/she is required to have testing done or provide documentation of a tuberculin skin test done within the United States within the last six months. All UND International students who have arrived in the United States within the past five years from countries where TB is endemic will be required to have TB testing or provide documentation of a tuberculin skin test done within the United States within the last six months.

Failure to comply with MMR immunization documentation requirements and tuberculosis risk assessment may result in a hold on the student’s course registration for subsequent semesters.

Security Compliance The University of North Dakota is in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) formerly known as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990. For more information, contact the UND Police Department at (701) 7773491, visit the UND Police Department web page at: http://www.police.und.edu, or e-mail: undpolice@mail.und.edu.

E-mail Policy Electronic mail or “e-mail” is considered an official method for communication at UND because it delivers information in a convenient, timely, cost effective, and environmentally aware manner.

A University assigned student e-mail account shall be the University’s official means of communication with all students on the UND campus. Students can expect to receive official information regarding deadlines, student account balances, policy/procedure changes, changes in degree requirements, special events, course schedule changes, regulatory changes, emergency notifications, as well as other useful information from the Registrar, Office of Financial Aid, Student Account Services, the Provost’s Office, Dean of Students, the Graduate School and information from academic departments.

Students are responsible for all information sent to them via their University e-mail account. He or she is responsible for all information, including attachments, sent to any other e-mail account.

Tobacco-Free Compus Policy The University of North Dakota is a tobacco-free campus.

Tobacco use is prohibited within University buildings, parking structures, walkways, arenas, in University or state vehicles, and on UND property. UND provides comprehensive tobacco cessation and prevention services. See http://www.tobaccofree.und.edu for more information.

Insurance: Health and Disability A student entering medical school at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences must agree to maintain health insurance coverage during the entire course of his/her enrollment. The student may select the policy which best meets the student’s individual needs.

The school provides disability insurance coverage for each enrolled medical student and resident physician. The group policy provides Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits after 90 days of continuous disability. The maximum LTD payment coverage amount is $1,000 per month for first- and secondyear medical students; $1,500 per month for third-year medical students, and $2,000 per month for fourth-year medical students. The minimum LTD benefit is $100.

Parking Regulations All parking on campus is permit parking only. Students who drive a vehicle on campus must purchase a parking permit upon arrival. Permits can be purchased at the Parking Office (lower level of Memorial Union). It is the responsibility of the individual to properly display the permit and comply with University Motor Vehicle Regulations at all times.

If you are a VISITOR ON CAMPUS, please see the Visitors Information Section about visitor parking permits.

Student Records The student records maintained by the university fall into two general categories - public directory information and educational records. As the custodian of student records and in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy

Act of 1974, the university assumes the trust and obligation to ensure the full protection of these student records. The university practices the policy of maintaining the confidentiality of educational records. It also guarantees that all records pertaining to a student (with the exception of those specifically exempted in the Code of Student Life) will be produced with reasonable notice, for inspection, by that individual student.

The administrative procedures on student records as outlined in the Code of Student Life are adhered to by university personnel who have or accumulate educational records, which are in a personally identifiable form.

Directory information, which may be released publicly in printed, electronic or other form, is defined to include the following: the student’s name, home address, local address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, class level, participation in officially recognized activities, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent educational institution attended by the student.

The student may request that directory information not be made public by completing an appropriate form in the Office of the Registrar no earlier than the first day of class and no later than the 10th day of class in a semester (or fifth class day in the eight-week summer session). This request will remain in effect for one calendar year. In the event of such a request, these data will be treated as educational records information, and in response to public inquiries the university will verify only whether an individual is currently enrolled at the university.

Educational records are those documents, records, other materials and files which contain information directly related to a student and are maintained by the University of North Dakota or a person acting on behalf of the university.

Educational records include more than academic records.

Educational records, with the exception of those designated as public directory information, may not be released without written consent of the student to any individual, agency or organization other than authorized personnel.

According to the North Dakota Century Code, the 17-member UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences Advisory Council is appointed by the Legislative Council and various medical groups to “study and make recommendations regarding the strategic plan, programs, and facilities of the school of medicine and health sciences.”

The North Dakota Century Code states that “The primary purpose of the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences is to educate physicians and other health professionals and to enhance the quality of life in North Dakota. Other purposes include the discovery of knowledge that benefits the people of this state and enhances the quality of their lives.”

Mission, Organization and Facilities

The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences The UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences was established in 1905 as a basic medical science school offering the first two years of medical education. In 1973, legislative action created an expanded curriculum and authorized the granting of the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. As an interim plan, the curriculum known as the 2:1:1 plan was instituted, providing freshman and sophomore years at UND, the junior year at the University of Minnesota School of Medicine or the Mayo Medical School, and the final year in North Dakota for elective clerkships at community hospitals within the state.

The 1981 State Legislature authorized the teaching of the third year in North Dakota beginning with ten students on the Fargo campus in 1982-83. Forty students received their third-year training in North Dakota in 1983-84 and in 1984-85 third-year training was available to all students entering the School of Medicine, thus giving North Dakota a complete, instate medical education program with the administrative center in Grand Forks and regional campuses in Bismarck, Fargo and Minot.

As a four-year-degree-granting institution, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences has about 130 full-time faculty and more than 900 part-time or voluntary clinical faculty in communities throughout North Dakota The School of Medicine and Health Sciences also includes the departments of occupational therapy and physical therapy. Degree programs are offered in clinical laboratory science, cytotechnology, athletic training, and the Physician Assistant Program—all of which have separate accreditation requirements.

Mission The primary purpose of the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences is to educate physicians and other health professionals and to enhance the quality of life in North Dakota. Other purposes include the discovery of knowledge that benefits the people of this state and enhances the quality of their lives.

Office of Student Affairs “Student affairs” is a very broad term encompassing all areas of medical student activity except traditional academics.

The staff of the Office of Student Affairs carries out a variety of functions including admissions, financial aid, registration and records, student government, student organizations, and general student advocacy and liaison.

Statewide Structure Area campuses in Bismarck, Fargo, Minot and Grand Forks have been established by the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences for the training of undergraduate medical students and for postgraduate residency programs and continuing education activities for health professionals.

Local physicians on each campus serve as preceptors for junior and senior medical students. Community hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices, nursing homes and other health care facilities provide the clinical settings for undergraduate and

graduate medical education. Community resources involved in medical care services, such as human service centers, alcohol treatment units, public health clinics, etc., also are utilized in the education programs. Instruction is carried out within these rural and urban facilities by the physician-faculty of the medical school. A broad spectrum of experience is available.

Affiliated teaching hospitals include, in addition to community hospitals, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Fargo, the United States Air Force hospitals in Minot and Grand Forks, and the Indian Health Service hospitals in Belcourt and Ft. Yates.

On each campus, a regional advisory committee consisting of representatives of educational and health care institutions works in liaison with the campus dean to effectively accomplish the integration of medical school programs and community resources. Campus deans are responsible to the dean of the medical school. They serve as an extension of the Office of Student Affairs, advising medical students and working closely with all departments of the medical school.

Academic Programs The School of Medicine and Health Sciences is fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges.

The School of Medicine and Health Sciences offers accredited undergraduate degrees in the allied health fields of clinical laboratory science, cytotechnology and athletic training; Master of Science degrees in occupational therapy and clinical laboratory science; a Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. In the basic medical sciences, Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science degrees are offered in anatomy and cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, microbiology and immunology, and pharmacology, physiology and therapeutics. Postgraduate medical residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine, general surgery and psychiatry are offered as well as a transitional one year program.

Graduate Program The Graduate School of the University of North Dakota offers programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees through graduate work in many departments of the university. The courses, seminars, research and independent study are offered by the respective departments. The direction of work for inclusion in thesis and dissertations to be submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements is supervised by the Graduate Faculty of the university. The Graduate Faculty is composed of members elected to it from the regular departmental faculty.

The Graduate School administers the following degree programs in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences: Anatomy and Cell Biology (M.S., Ph.D.); Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (M.S., Ph.D.); Clinical Laboratory Science (M.S.); Microbiology and Immunology (M.S., Ph.D.); Occupational Therapy (M.S.O.T.); Pharmacology, Physiology and Therapeutics (M.S., Ph.D.); Physical Therapy (D.P.T.), and 13

Physician Assistant Studies (M.P.A.S.). Requirements for these degrees are detailed in the UND Academic Catalog, copies of which may be obtained from the office of the Registrar, Twamley Hall 201, or online at und.edu/dept/registrar/catalogs/catalog.

Application for admission to graduate work in one of the medical sciences should be submitted directly to the Graduate School on forms obtainable from that office (http://graduateschool.und.edu). Applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree prior to registering with the Graduate School, but an application for admission may be submitted and approved prior to actual receipt of the degree. A student who holds a baccalaureate degree and who has successfully completed the second-year program in medicine may obtain a leave of absence from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences in order to pursue a graduate program. Such students must apply for admission to the Graduate School in the usual manner.

The Graduate School is the arm of the University providing administrative oversight of all master’s and doctoral programs (except M.D. and J.D.) on the campus. The Graduate School reports to the provost and works closely with the Office of the Vice President for Research. In the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the majority of research results from cooperative efforts between the graduate faculty and graduate students. Completion of a research project of appropriate scope constitutes a major requirement for obtaining a master’s or doctoral degree in the basic science departments. Students in the allied health fields may be required to complete a scholarly project as part of their degree requirements. Research in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences is supported through grants obtained by individual faculty members and by funds made available through departments and the University. Graduate students may be eligible for a number of financial awards administered through the Graduate School.

Financial information for graduate students is detailed in the UND Academic Catalog.

The INMED Program Each year the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences adds seven places in its medical school freshman class and two places in both its physical therapy and occupational therapy programs for fully-qualified American Indian students who participate in the Indians into Medicine (INMED) program. Applications for these places are accepted from enrolled members of federally recognized tribes throughout the United States.

The school’s INMED program, in operation since 1973, was initially developed to compensate for the termination of the federal doctor draft, which had previously been a source of physicians to serve American Indian communities. INMED has assisted approximately 20 percent of this country’s Indian physicians with their education.

The number of INMED places in the freshman class was increased from five to seven through a 1989 Satellite Office Agreement with the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. Two of the seven INMED students admitted to each class transfer to the University of South Dakota School of Medicine after successful completion of the curriculum of the first two years. These two students complete the requirements for the M.D. degree and graduate from the Sanford School of Medicine, at the University of South Dakota.

INMED provides a variety of student support services during the academic year, including counseling, coordination of financial aid, tutoring, a student organization, a study center and a computer center. The program assists more than 120 American Indian students each year who are enrolled in medicine, pre-medicine and related health science curricula.

INMED also hosts summer enrichment sessions at the precollege and pre-medical school levels. These sessions are designed to give participants the academic tools to successfully complete their upcoming curricula.

Indian health legislation has established The Quentin N. Burdick Indian Health Programs at UND to coordinate Indian student support services at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, the College of Nursing and the Department of Psychology. The participating student support programs include INMED, Recruitment/Retention of American Indian Nurses (RAIN), and Indians into Psychology Doctoral Education (INPSYDE).

The Center for Rural Health The Center for Rural Health works to connect resources and knowledge to strengthen the health of people in rural communities.

Working closely with communities, health care organizations, health care providers, policy-makers, researchers, tribal nations and other rural health stakeholders, the Center for Rural Health uses a multidisciplinary approach to create solutions to complex challenges.

The Center for Rural Health serves the people of the state, region and nation by using research and knowledge to inform policy-makers and assist communities. As a resource, its staff advocates for rural concerns, analyzes health policy, assists with community and economic development relating to health systems, develops community-based alternatives, enhances networks, identifies and researches rural health issues, targets underserved communities and populations, and strengthens local health care capabilities. The Center for Rural Health is also the home of four national programs covering information dissemination, rural findings dissemination, and Native American aging Because of the extensive and quality-driven work of the Center for Rural Health, it has been named a University of North Dakota Center of Excellence in Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity. More information is available at http://ruralhealth.und.edu.

Facilities Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences The Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences, named in honor of a former dean of the School of Medicine, is located in the Karl Christian Wold, M.D., Bio-Information Learning Resources Center which opened in 1995.

In addition to a traditional collection of 113,000 books, periodicals and audiovisual programs, the library offers access to a growing array of electronic resources. More than 20,000 electronic journals, electronic books, and specialized bibliographic databases are available within the library, from other locations on campus, and from selected teaching sites around the state. The library’s online catalog, ODIN, includes the holdings of most of the college, university and hospital libraries in the state, as well as several public libraries.

The Harley E. French Library coordinates the clinical campus library network with affiliated libraries in Bismarck, Fargo and Minot. This network links all medical facilities in the state and provides information resources to health professionals and students throughout North Dakota.

Physical Plant The UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences is an interconnected complex of facilities on Sixth Avenue North and Columbia Road on the UND campus in Grand Forks. The additions include the Edwin C. James Medical Research Facility (completed in 1994) and the Karl Christian Wold, M.D., Bio-Information Learning Resources Center (completed in 1995) which houses the Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences. The complex includes the Center for Rural Health; department offices, classrooms and laboratories for instruction of medical students in the basic medical sciences, and teaching facilities for nursing, clinical laboratory science, physical therapy, physician assistant and graduate programs, as well as administrative offices. In the fall of 2000, the Biomedical Research Facility opened as part of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences complex. In August 2001, the University Health Facility, which includes the Clinical Education Center and the Family Practice Center, opened at Hamline and Seventh Avenue North. In the fall of 2004, the Neuroscience Research Facility was completed and opened at Hamline and Fifth Avenue North, immediately west of the medical school complex.

In 2010, an addition to the Clinical Education Center was built to house the Simulation Center, which will train medical students, nursing students, resident physicians, physician assistant students, and health care practitioners from across the state. The School of Medicine and Health Sciences also constructed a Family Medicine Center in Minot in 2005, which houses both the family medicine residency program and its clinic and the Northwest Campus office. A family medicine center is under construction in Bismarck and is scheduled to open in 2011.

A resident is any applicant who has lived in North Dakota for 12 months prior to November 1 of the year of application and who is a United States citizen or legal permanent resident of the U.S. Former long-term residents of North Dakota and residents of other states who have a North Dakota connection also will be considered. In addition, applicants certified by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) receive equal preference for up to six of the positions in each entering class.

Residents of Minnesota also will be considered for admission on a very limited basis. Regardless of state residency, any Native American who is an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe, may apply for admission through the Indians Into Medicine (INMED) program, a federally funded program that provides educational opportunity and retention services.

Due to the large number of qualified applicants from North Dakota, other non-North Dakota citizens are discouraged from applying.

Admissions Committee This committee begins each November to consider applicants for the following year’s class. Clinical and basic science faculty as well as medical student representatives work together on the committee to assess the qualifications of the applicant. If their evaluation of the data submitted is found

competitive, the candidate is invited for an interview before a final decision is made.

Application Procedure Requests for application information should be addressed to Secretary, Committee on Admissions Office of Student Affairs and Admissions University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences 501 North Columbia Road – Stop 9037 Grand Forks, N.D. 58202-9037 The application form must be requested and completed online at http://smhs.med.und.nodak.edu/msapplication/request/.

Please contact Jude Heit via e-mail with any questions: jdheit@medicine.nodak.edu. The application form for admission to the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences must be submitted no later than November 1 of the year preceding intended enrollment.

The completed application folder consists of: 1) the written application form, 2) a personal statement, 3) four letters of recommendation, 4) Medical College Admissions Test scores, 5) official academic transcripts, and 6) a $50 non-refundable application fee. Absence of any material or delay in receipt of required materials will delay consideration of the application.

Changes occur in the application process and premedical requirements from time to time. The applicant should check with the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences prior to application.

Personal Statement The personal statement offers an opportunity for the applicant to describe those attributes, characteristics and interests which underlie his/her decision to study medicine.

Participation in research projects, hobbies, and health-related employment are experiences which may help in the deliberations of the admissions committee. An effort should be made to demonstrate, by specific example, motivation and commitment to a medical career, the ability to work with people, compassion and empathy, and the ability to deal with the everyday problems of life.

Letters of Recommendation Confidential appraisals by college advisors, instructors or others are an important part of the application. These recommendations should include one letter from a peer, such as a roommate, spouse or friend, and one letter from a science professor. Recommendations should be sought from persons who know the applicant well and can give a frank and thorough assessment of the applicant’s personality, industry, reliability and motivation. All letters of recommendation are considered confidential and may not be viewed by the applicant.

Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) All accredited medical schools, acting through the Association of American Medical Colleges, have arranged for a standard Medical College Admissions Test to be given to all 17

applicants. This test is administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges, and application must be made electronically at: www.aamc.org/students/mcat. Application for the test must be made approximately one month prior to the testing date. Inquiries regarding application should be directed to the AAMC. Since January 2007, the test has been administered electronically at several Prometric Centers across the nation. All applicants are encouraged to take the test early in the year, but no later than the fall of the year in which the application is filed. All applicants must report MCAT scores prior to consideration for admission to the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. If an applicant has taken the MCAT more than one time, the most recent score will be used in the admissions process. Test results must be recent. If more than three years old, MCAT scores will not be accepted as valid for application.

There are several booklets which advise students about the MCAT and the premedical advisors often can give additional information. Obtaining the best possible scores on this test is an important part of the application process.

Academic Accomplishment and Admission Requirements Prior to admission, a minimum of 90 semester hours of credit from an approved college or university is required.

Preference is given to students who have completed an undergraduate degree and who are broadly educated in the sciences and humanities. The School of Medicine and Health Sciences recognizes that, since medicine deals with people, an understanding of literature, art, history, ethics and philosophy is an adjunct to a physician. Science and humanities are not mutually exclusive and both are viewed as necessary for the practice of medicine. It also is recommended strongly that students be computer literate.

The following list of courses and credits indicates the minimal prerequisites that all applicants must take prior to admission to medical school. A minimum cumulative and science (chemistry, physics, biology, psychology and math) grade point average of 3.0 is expected.

Personal Interview Applicants favorably considered for admission are invited for personal interview with the Committee on Admissions.

Individual interviews are conducted by a team of three committee members: a physician, a basic scientist and a medical student.

The interview serves to help both the applicant and the committee. It provides an opportunity for the applicant to ask pertinent questions and introduce any special circumstances which might exist. The committee in turn becomes acquainted with the applicant and obtains an appraisal of personal qualities and character traits which could assist the candidate in becoming a good physician. Interviews are held during regular meetings of the Admissions Committee, usually in December and January.

Applicants must realize that in addition to high academic achievement, selection is based on a number of factors. The demonstration of such qualities as motivation and commitment to a medical career, empathy and compassion in interpersonal relationships, maturity and flexibility in dealing with problems, and the ability to work with others in small groups is very important in the selection process.

Notification of Acceptance Letters of acceptance and non-acceptance will be mailed from the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions within four to six weeks of the interview date, unless the applicant is notified otherwise. The student must send a letter of intent to enter the School of Medicine and Health Sciences within fourweeks of notification of acceptance. The letter of acceptance must be accompanied by a deposit of $100, which is applied to the first semester tuition and is refundable should a student withdraw prior to May 15.

The School of Medicine and Health Sciences has a limited program of deferred entry for interested students. Once admitted, a student may request a one-year deferral of admission.

WICHE Participation The School of Medicine and Health Sciences participates in the Professional Student Exchange Program administered by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), under which legal residents of western states without a medical school may receive preference in admission.

Certified WICHE students pay resident tuition if they are supported by their home state. To be certified as eligible for this program, the student must write to the WICHE certifying officer in his/her state of legal residence for the program application form. The number of students to be supported in each state in the field of medicine depends upon state appropriations. For addresses of state certifying officers consult the Office of Student Affairs at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences or WICHE Professional Student Exchange Program, 3035 Center Green Drive, Suite 200, Boulder, Colorado 80301-2204 (telephone: 303/541-0270 or by e-mail at info-sep@wiche.edu).

Reapplication Unsuccessful applicants may reapply by repeating the process described under Application Procedure. Filling out a new application form, writing a new personal statement and requesting current letters of recommendation are required.

The reapplication must include a check or money order for $50, payable to the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Advanced Standing Graduate students from any university, upon submission of the standard application, will be considered on an equal basis for admission with other applicants to the first-year class.

Attainment of the graduate degree, however, must be completed prior to the desired enrollment date unless other arrangements are made in writing with the chairperson of the appropriate graduate department.

The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences is unable to accept transfer students from other medical schools, except under the most unusual circumstances. Then, the same procedure pertains. The student must apply through the process described; the decision regarding acceptance into the School of Medicine and Health Sciences will be made by the Admissions Committee. If accepted, the student may petition the Student Performance and Recognition Committee for advanced standing. Given the curriculum at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences, only transfer requests for advanced standing as a third-year medical student will be considered. The applicant must have passed Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination.

Financial Information Medical Education Expenses An estimate of the general expenses for resident medical students during the 2010-2011 academic year follows: The cost of attendance reflects average expenses incurred by a student to attend medical school for one year. It is adjusted annually based on student surveys and the consumer price index (CPI). It does not include expenses for individuals other than the student (with the exception of daycare costs), or expenses incurred during periods of non-enrollment.

Other necessary expenses such as daycare costs, health insurance premiums, emergency car repairs, medical/dental bills not covered by insurance, and the purchase of a computer may be included in the cost of attendance, if incurred during the academic year. Students may request consideration for a “Cost of Attendance” increase by submitting a Request for Re-evaluation form and supporting documentation to the Medical School Student Financial Aid Office.

The total amount of a student’s financial aid award cannot exceed the cost of attendance.

Student Financial Aid Services The School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ Student Financial Aid Office, in cooperation with the University of North Dakota Student Financial Aid Office, administers a number of scholarship and loan funds for medical students. The office reviews requests and provides financial aid based upon students’ needs and scholastic achievement. Every effort is made to minimize financial difficulties for each student.

Periodic financial aid counseling and debt management activities are offered to all students.

Information about loans and scholarships can be obtained from the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Student Financial Aid Office, 501 North Columbia Road, STOP 9037, Grand Forks, ND 58202-9037 or by e-mail: jthorv@medicine.nodak.edu.

Student Employment Medical students should not plan on or undertake employment during the academic year. Student assistantships in some departments are available to medical students beyond the first year. They usually are arranged on an hourly basis after the school year begins. In addition, both research and clinical opportunities are available during the summer or free periods for interested medical students.

19

Graduate Student Financial Assistance Assistance for graduate students is available in the form of fellowships, traineeships and assistantships. The Graduate Section of the UND catalog should be consulted for details on each award.

Fellowships and traineeships, given by the department and the Graduate School, are outright financial awards requiring no services. Students holding such awards must pursue academic studies full-time. Assistantships, of which there are three kinds (teaching, research and service), commit the student to perform a specific service, usually on a half-time basis, with the result that only half-time academic loads may be carried. Research assistantships are awarded from the research grants held by faculty members and require the recipient to carry out research on a specific project. Graduate teaching assistantships require the recipient to assist in the teaching program of the department. Service assistantships are funded by various service units on campus.

To be eligible for financial assistance, a student must be admitted to the Graduate School for work toward a graduate degree. Applications for financial aid in the form of fellowships, traineeships and assistantships should be submitted to the Graduate School before March 1 with awards being announced about April 15. Only students in approved or qualified status are eligible for Graduate Teaching, Research and Service Assistantships.

20

Satisfactory Progress Any time a student drops a course or withdraws from the university, federally-funded student financial aid may be jeopardized now or in the future. At least two-thirds of all courses in which a student is enrolled must be completed successfully to maintain eligibility for federally-funded student financial aid. In addition, medical students must complete their program of study with a maximum of 218 credit hours attempted. The maximum number of credit hours attempted for graduate students is 135, and it is 187 for undergraduates. This policy is presented in its entirety in the Code of Student Life.

Refund of Institutional Charges for Withdrawn Students A student who withdraws from the University under normal conditions and after the beginning of instruction will be granted a refund of tuition/fees in accordance with federal regulations and North Dakota State Board of Higher Education policy. The pro-rata refund schedule is published online each semester in the UND Time Schedule of Classes.

No refund will be made to a student who is suspended or dismissed. If a student who is awarded financial aid receives a tuition refund, the refund will be applied to the financial aid, not issued to the student.

Policies and Procedures Governing the Standards for Student Performance Division I - Introduction and Statement of Responsibilities The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) is a professional community of students and faculty who share the responsibility for the achievement of a common goal: the training of competent physicians who shall exhibit and maintain high standards of professional and personal conduct. Achievement of this goal is a complex process with many incremental steps through which a student must progress. The progress of students shall be monitored by the faculty to ensure and facilitate each student’s adherence to proper standards of performance including academic, professional skills, behavior, academic honesty, and satisfactory performance within all components of the curriculum.

This document describes the system employed by the SMHS for considering matters of student progress and should be used by students and faculty alike as a guide to the standards and expectations of the SMHS and the process used by the school to properly certify its students for the M.D. degree.

The SMHS’s Student Performance and Recognition Committee (SPRC) is delegated the responsibility for implementing the system.

Each student in the SMHS has the responsibility of abiding by the rules and regulations of the University of North Dakota and of the SMHS and meeting the standards of academic performance and personal conduct. At the same time, each student has the right to be afforded the benefit of policies and procedures in matters related to his/her progress through the medical curriculum and with respect to grievances of an academic nature.

In granting a student the M.D. degree, the faculty of the University of North Dakota SMHS endorse that student as having acquired the knowledge and skills appropriate for entry into graduate medical training and as having demonstrated appropriate professional and personal conduct. Therefore, faculty have the responsibility of establishing standards of academic accomplishment and professional conduct that students must attain to receive the M.D. degree. The faculty also have the responsibility of establishing the evaluative criteria consistent with the student performance goals of the SMHS and to assist each student in recognizing and correcting deficits before the M.D. degree can be granted.

This document describes the standards of academic performance and professionalism within all components of the curriculum that must be attained before graduation with an M.D. degree from the University of North Dakota SMHS. Division II - Committee Structure Section 2-101 Student Performance and Recognition Committee A. Committee Responsibilities and Jurisdiction 1. The Student Performance and Recognition Committee is a standing committee in the SMHS and reports its findings to the Faculty Academic Council (FAC). This committee will meet regularly two times per academic year. It will also meet at other times as necessary to consider issues of student performance. The Chair of the SPRC will report any substantive business that has come before SPRC at each meeting of FAC.

2. The responsibilities of SPRC are to review, at least biannually, individual student progress based on faculty reports; and to identify problem areas, recommend and/or approve changes in a student’s program, determine whether the established standards of academic performance and conduct (including academic performance, professional skills and behavior, and academic honesty) have been met, and recommend promotion and graduation.

3. SPRC reports its findings to the Faculty Academic Council in all matters of academic performance. The Committee shall submit to FAC, for its approval, the names of students recommended for promotion and graduation. FAC then certifies that graduates of the institution have met the academic performance goals and have exhibited those characteristics that are consistent with the SMHS’s standards of professional behavior and academic honesty. Actions taken

by SPRC concerning probation, suspension, leave of absence, and dismissal shall be reported at the next FAC meeting by the chair of SPRC without disclosing student names and/or confidential information.

4. Problems may be identified and reported to SPRC through written evaluations by any member of the SMHS community. These concerns should be directed to the SPRC chairperson who establishes the agenda for meetings and/or hearings. SPRC has jurisdiction to consider all matters of academic conduct including the cognitive measures of academic performance (performance on assessment tools used within all components of the curriculum and professional skills) and the non-cognitive measures of performance (professional conduct and academic honesty observed and assessed).

5. SPRC decisions may include but are not limited to: a. Promotion b. Graduation c. Remediation e. Counseling f. Leave of absence: A student may request a leave of absence by submitting to the SPRC chairperson a written request that lists the reasons for the leave and how the time will be used. SPRC will evaluate the request and make a decision. In emergency situations related to student safety and emotional well-being or personal problems of a confidential nature, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs can recommend leave of absence status to the Dean without the advice or consent of SPRC. SPRC and/or the Dean may specify conditions that must be met during the leave of absence period. g. Academic probation: A student who fails to complete satisfactorily a single block, required clinical experience, or elective will be placed on academic probation. This indicates a condition in which a student is other than “in good standing or progressing satisfactorily with the class.” SPRC may consult with the Office of Medical Education and other faculty to specify the period of time and contingencies that must be met before the probationary status is removed. Failure to fulfill the contingencies in the specified time period will result in a dismissal hear21

ing. Probationary status can result from unsatisfactory academic performance, deficiencies in professional skills and behavior, and/or academic dishonesty. h. Suspension: A student may be suspended as a result of either of the following deficiencies: - unsatisfactory performance in two blocks, two required clinical experiences, or two electives in any one academic year.

- unprofessional behavior and/or academic dishonesty. Failure of a student to fulfill the recommendations set by SPRC for remediation, repetition, or correction of behavior during the period of suspension will result in a dismissal hearing. i. Dismissal: A decision to dismiss a student may result from a dismissal hearing called to address the following deficiencies: - failure of two blocks, two required clinical experiences, or two electives; in any one academic year.

- failure to meet SPRC’s conditions set for remediation, leave of absence, and/or removal of probation or suspension status.

- failure of a USMLE Step Examination on three administrations.

- failure to complete Years 1 and 2 within three years from the date of matriculation or failure to complete Years 3 and 4 in three years from the student’s beginning of Year 3; subject to SPRC consideration of unusual circumstances.

- failure to adhere to the behavioral component of performance as defined in Section 3-103.

6. The Chair of SPRC is empowered to address in consultation with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs all routine matters to come before SPRC. Routine matters include, but are not limited to, defined Leaves of Absence for reasons including study/academic needs, health reasons, and personal concerns; the placement of students on academic probation according to these policies; and the granting of awards and scholarships. The Chair must refer to the Committee any matter requiring a full hearing by the Committee as described in the Academic Catalog of the SMHS including but not limited to hearings on unsatisfactory academic performance and unprofessional conduct. The Chair will report to SPRC at its next meeting any business that has been handled by the Chair since the last meeting of the full SPRC. B. Committee composition: Election to the committee will be in accordance with the SMHS bylaws, which specifies the membership as follows: 1. Three members shall be from the full-time basic science faculty.

2. Three members shall be from the full-time clinical science faculty.

3. Four members, one from each class of the medical student body.

Division III - Academic Performance Section 3-101 Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory Performance Within All Components of the Curriculum Promotion from one component of the curriculum to the next and graduation from the program with the granting of the M.D. degree are based on a student satisfactorily meeting the performance standards established by the faculty of the SMHS. A. Performance Standards 1. Students must be registered for each block, required clinical experience or elective at the prescribed time as outlined in the SMHS Academic Catalog unless otherwise authorized by SPRC. 2. Student performance is determined on the basis of achievement of prescribed block, required clinical experience, or elective objectives. Students must achieve the satisfactory criterion level established by the faculty and presented to all students at the beginning of each block, required clinical experience or elective.

3. Student performance will be recorded according to the attached grading policy for medical students. (See Appendix Medical Student Grading Policy). The faculty will evaluate and document each student’s general performance characteristics including self-directed learning, knowledge of the sciences basic to medicine, clinical skills competency, and professional attitudes and behaviors.

4. Satisfactory completion of Steps 1 and 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), according to established National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) criteria, is a requirement for graduation and granting of the M.D. degree at SMHS; a student must pass USMLE Step 1 before beginning the second half of the required third year clerkships. A student is required to take USMLE Step 1 before beginning Year 3 required clinical experiences provided that Blocks I-VIII of Years 1 and 2 have been satisfactorily completed. Should a student fail to satisfactorily complete Step 1, the student would be allowed to continue in the first half of the Year 3 required clinical experiences or, with the counsel of SPRC and the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, petition for a leave of absence to adequately prepare to repeat the exam. If a student takes and fails a USMLE Step Examination three times, a dismissal hearing will be conducted.

5. Satisfactory grades in individual components of the curriculum do not guarantee that the student’s performance, viewed as a whole, will meet requirements for awarding the degree.

B. Curriculum Completion and Promotion Promotion from component to component (e.g., block to block or year to year) requires satisfactory completion of all blocks, required clinical experiences, and/or curriculum objectives in the preceding curricular component.

C. Consequences of Unsatisfactory Academic Performance

1. Remediation: Remedial experiences may be prescribed depending on the time and severity of student deficiencies. a. If, by student self-assessment or observation by a faculty facilitator or preceptor, a student is performing unsatisfactorily during a block, required clinical experience or elective, the block or clinical experience director may prescribe measures to help correct the deficiencies. The availability and type of remediation are the responsibility of the faculty and may include, but are not limited to, designated tutorials, academic exercises, or supplemental instruction. b. If a student receives an “Unsatisfactory” grade at the end of a block or required clinical experience, remediation will be required. Students with “Unsatisfactory” grades in more than one required clinical experience cannot begin remediation programs until the SPRC has given approval.

2. A student who receives an “Unsatisfactory” grade in a single block or required clinical experience will be placed on academic probation. Removal of probationary status requires satisfactory completion of the particular block or required clinical experience. a. Within Blocks I-VIII of Years 1 and 2, failure of a single component of assessment in an individual block results in an Unsatisfactory grade for the block.

Remediation of the failed component can be accomplished during the Special Studies Week (10th week of the block) according to written policies and procedures for remediation. Successful remediation will result in a “Satisfactory” grade for the block.

Unsuccessful remediation will not affect participation in the subsequent block; however, the student will be responsible for remediating the entire block at a designated time during the summer following the academic year in which the deficiency occurred.

Failure to remediate block assessment in the summer will result in a dismissal hearing in which a decision to dismiss the student or to grant an opportunity to repeat the block will be made by the SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record. b. Within Blocks I-VIII of Years 1 and 2, failure of more than one component of assessment in an individual block results in an “Unsatisfactory” grade for the block. While the deficiency will not affect participation in the subsequent block, remediation of the entire block is necessary and will occur at a designated time during the summer following the academic year in which the deficiency occurred.

Remediation will be done according to written policies and procedures. Successful remediation will result in a Satisfactory grade for the block. Failure to remediate block assessment in the summer will result in a dismissal hearing in which a decision to dismiss the student or to grant an opportunity to repeat the block will be made by the SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record.

c. For clerkships, if a student fails one or more components of assessment, the student may progress to the next clerkship but must make arrangements with the clerkship director(s) for remediation of the clerkship in a timely manner. Failure to remediate the clerkship will result in a dismissal hearing in which a decision to dismiss the student or to grant an opportunity to repeat the clerkship will be made by the SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record. d. Within the Rural Opportunities in Medical Education (ROME) program, students must successfully pass all components of assessment. Failure of any component of assessment will require remediation before going on to Year 4 electives. Failure to remediate will result in a dismissal hearing and a decision to either dismiss the student, or in consultation with Clerkship Directors and SPRC, require that the student successfully complete a prescribed program of study to correct the deficiency. The requirements of remediation may include successful completion of a clerkship in the discipline in which the student is deficient.

3. “Unsatisfactory” grades in any block of Year 1 must be corrected before starting Year 2. “Unsatisfactory” grades in any block of Year 2 must be corrected before starting required Year 3 clinical experiences. “Unsatisfactory” grades in any required clinical experiences of Year 3 must be corrected before starting Year 4 electives. Exceptions to the above must be approved by SPRC. 4. A student who receives two “Unsatisfactory” grades in an academic year will be placed on probation and a dismissal hearing will be held. A decision to dismiss the student, to suspend the student, or to grant remedial experiences will be made by SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record. Removal of probation and promotion to the next curricular component requires satisfactory remediation of the specific deficiencies. Failure to meet the criteria of the remedial experiences is grounds for dismissal. a. For Blocks I-VIII of Years 1 and 2, if a student fails a single component of assessment in an individual block, and fails to remediate in week 10, and fails to remediate a deficiency in any subsequent block in the same academic year, the student will be placed on probation and a dismissal hearing will be held. A decision to dismiss the student or to grant an opportunity to repeat the year will be made by SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record. b. If a student fails multiple components of assessment in more than one block in the same academic year, the student will be placed on probation, and a dismissal hearing will be held. A decision to dismiss the student or to grant an opportunity to repeat the year will be made by SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record.

23

c. If a student carries unremediated “Unsatisfactory” grades in two or more required clinical experiences and/or electives in Year 3 or 4, the student will be placed on probation, and a dismissal hearing will be held. A decision to dismiss the student or to grant an opportunity to repeat the year will be made by the SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record.

5. During a repeated year, a student will be placed on probation and a dismissal hearing will be held if the student fails any block in which the student was previously enrolled. A decision regarding dismissal will be made by the SPRC after careful consideration of the student’s entire record.

6. Students admitted to SMHS must complete their requirements for the M.D. degree within six years from the date of matriculation. Blocks I-VIII (Years 1 and 2) must be completed satisfactorily in no more than three years from the date of matriculation, and required clinical experiences and electives (Years 3 and 4) must be completed satisfactorily in no more than three years from the date the student begins the third year required experiences. Students in the M.D./Ph.D. program may exceed the six year limitation in satisfying the requirements of both degrees, but must take no more than three years from the date of matriculation to complete satisfactorily Blocks I-VIII and no more than three years after beginning the required Year 3 clinical experiences to complete satisfactorily required clinical experiences and electives.

Failure by any student to complete requirements as stated is grounds for dismissal. SPRC may make limited exceptions to this policy for medical or other compelling reasons.

Section 3-102: Standards, Policies and Procedures in Matters Relating to the Passing and Failing of Curricular Components, Examinations and Other Measures of Performance A. The Student Performance and Recognition Committee (SPRC) is responsible for making decisions relative to academic performance (see Section 3-101). The SPRC will routinely review student performance and make decisions concerning probation, suspension, and leave of absence.

B.

Section 3-103: The Behavioral Component of Academic Performance A. A medical school has the responsibility to society and to the medical profession to certify that its graduates have the cognitive knowledge and skills and the non-cognitive qualities necessary to function as competent and safe physicians.

Section 3-101 and 3-102 address the cognitive knowledge and skill aspect of academic performance. This section addresses the non-cognitive or behavioral component of academic performance. Included within this category is the obvious issue of academic honesty. Also included, however, are issues of professional integrity and ethical behavior, which are viewed as equally important aspects of academic performance.

The faculty of the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences recognizes six basic professional traits that are critical components of academic performance.* They are listed below with some examples of behavior that illustrate the trait: 1. Reliability and responsibility a. Can be depended upon to do his or her duty b. Follows through on tasks he or she agreed to perform c. Arrives on time for class, clinic, rounds, etc.

2. Maturity a. Behaves respectfully b. Accepts responsibility for failure c. Does not make inappropriate demands d. Is not abusive and critical during times of stress 3. Critique a. Accepts criticism and reacts positively to it b. Looks at self objectively c. Takes steps to correct shortcomings 4. Communication skills a. Listens well b.

B. The following shall be considered violations of the standards of academic honesty: 1. Cheating on a test, including but not limited to: a. Copying from another student’s test paper. b. Using materials during a test not authorized by the person giving the test. c. Collaborating with or seeking aid from another student during a test without authority. d. Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in whole or in part the contents of an unadministered test. e. Substituting for another student or permitting another student to substitute for oneself to take a test. f. Bribing another person to obtain an unadministered test or information about an unadministered test.

2. Plagiarism means the appropriation, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means another person’s work, in any form or format, and the unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in one’s own work. Self-plagiarism means the repeated submission of the same work as an original work.

3. Collusion, the unauthorized collaboration with another person in preparing written work offered for credit.

4. Falsifying or manufacturing scientific or educational data and representing the same to be the result of scientific or scholarly experiment or research.

5. Falsifying by omission or commission any information pertinent to patient care.

6. Furnishing false information to academic officers relative to academic matters.

7. Restricting the use of material used in study in a manner prejudicial to the interest of other students.

26

8. Unauthorized use of curricular and examination materials, restricted in access by curricular policy within the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

9. Falsifying by omission or commission any information in written, electronic or verbal form, pertinent to application for admission to medical school.

C. Medical students are members of the medical community.

While trainee status dictates restriction of their privileges within the community, the ethical standards of a student in medicine should be consistent with the stated standards of the medical profession. Therefore, the revised Principles of Medical Ethics adopted by the American Medical Association (2001) will serve as a model for student conduct. As a new member of this profession, the student must recognize responsibility not only to patients but also to society, to other health professionals, and to self. The following principles of the American Medical Association are not laws, but standards of conduct which define the essentials of honorable behavior for the medical student and under which the student will be held accountable.

1. A medical student shall be dedicated to providing competent medical care with compassion and respect for human dignity.

2. A medical student shall uphold the standards of professionalism, be honest in all professional interactions, and strive to report those students/ physicians deficient in character or competence, or who engage in fraud or deception, to the appropriate entities.

3. A medical student shall respect the law and also recognize a responsibility to seek changes in those requirements which are contrary to the best interests of the patient.

4. A medical student shall respect the rights of patients, of colleagues and of other health professionals, and shall safeguard patient confidences and privacy within the constraints of the law.

5. A medical student shall continue to study, apply and advance scientific knowledge, make relevant information available to patients, colleagues and the public, obtain consultation, and use the talents of other health professionals when indicated.

6. A medical student shall recognize a responsibility to participate in activities contributing to an improved community and the betterment of public health.

7. A medical student shall, while caring for a patient, regard responsibility to the patient as paramount.

8. A medical student shall support access to medical care for all people.

D. A medical student shall have the continuing responsibility to comply with federal and state laws; the rules and regulations of the University of North Dakota, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences and its individual departments, affiliated hospitals and other medical institutions; and other applicable guidelines.

E. A medical student shall at all times maintain the highest standard of academic honesty and professional behavior. To this end, it is expected that each class will function as an effective, professional peer review group responsible for fostering

integrity, honesty, and professional behavior within its membership. It is also expected that violations of the standards of academic honesty and professional behavior will be reported to the faculty or the administration of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students will be asked to sign a statement that they have read, understood, and will abide by the standards of academic honesty and professional behavior.

F. Consequences of violations of professional behavior and academic honesty: After a hearing before the SPRC, students may be placed on probation, dismissed or suspended from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences for proven violations of the standards of professional behavior and academic honesty.

Section 3-104 Standards, Policies and Procedures Relating to the Behavioral Component of Performance A. Honor Pledge: Upon entering the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, a student must sign a pledge stating that the student has read and understands the rules and regulations of the honor system and will abide by them (see Appendix - Honor System).

B. Students enrolled at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences are expected to uphold the standards of professional behavior and academic honesty detailed under Section 3-103 of this document. The following process has been developed for dealing with those students who may have demonstrated academic dishonesty or who, by their behavior, have created a question as to whether they should continue in the study of medicine.

C. There are two mechanisms by which charges of unprofessional behavior can arise.

1. A report form, “Report of Concerns about Student Behavior,” may be completed by any member of the student body, faculty or staff and submitted to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs or a campus dean. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs or the campus assistant dean may decide whether to pursue action in relation to a single isolated report about a student. However, if two or more forms are submitted during any given semester concerning a student the procedure outlined in D-F must be followed.

2. A written charge of unprofessional behavior or academic dishonesty may be submitted at any time by any member of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences community.

The charge shall be submitted in signed, written form to one of the campus deans or the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. The written charge must describe in detail the specific conduct or circumstances which will allow review by the appropriate persons and/or committees, and which informs the student of the nature of the offenses or conduct which must be explained.

3. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs or a campus dean, upon receipt of a “Report of Concerns about Student Behavior,” is authorized to conduct a preliminary investigation for the purpose of determining whether to forward the complaint to the chairperson of the SPRC in relation to a single isolated event or report. The sole purpose of any information

gained from this preliminary investigation is to aid the Associate Dean for Student Affairs or a campus assistant dean in their forwarding determination. The preliminary investigative information shall not be forwarded or otherwise supplied to the subcommittee established in Section 3-104 (F) (1).

D. Two or more forms generated pursuant to Section 3-104 (C) (1) or any written charge generated pursuant to Section 3104 (C) (2) must be forwarded to the chairperson of the SPRC. These will be considered a written charge of unprofessional behavior or academic dishonesty for the remainder of this section.

E. Filing a written charge of unprofessional behavior or academic dishonesty requires the development of a confidential file located in the Office of Student Affairs. Access to this file shall be restricted to the student under consideration and/or his/her designee, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, the Dean, the chairperson of the SPRC, and the campus dean, if pertinent.

F. After a written charge of unprofessional behavior or academic dishonesty is forwarded from the Office of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs or the campus dean to the chairperson of the SPRC, the following process will be followed: 1. The SPRC chairperson shall appoint a subcommittee consisting of two students and one faculty member. The members will be selected from a pool of faculty and students appointed annually by the Dean of the School of Medicine.

The members of SPRC may not participate in the pool.

2. The committee will meet with the involved student and the individual(s) filing the charge as soon as possible. The student will be given an opportunity to explain or rebut any of the evidence or information concerning conduct or circumstances contained in the written charge.

3. After reviewing the pertinent information the subcommittee shall make one of the following decisions: a. Refer the matter to the full SPRC for investigation and hearing. b. Dismiss the matter due to insufficient evidence.

4. The SPRC Chairperson will review the subcommittee’s recommendation and supporting information and: a. If a hearing is required, the chairperson must initiate the procedure outlined in 3-104 (G) b. If the matter has been dismissed due to insufficient evidence, the chairperson shall expunge the record.

G. At least ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled SPRC meeting, the SPRC chairperson shall notify the student by certified mail of the hearing. The chairperson shall send the letter to the student at his/her address appearing in the registrar’s records or the chairperson may have the letter delivered personally to the student by a representative of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. In the event that the chairperson is unable to have the letter personally served upon the student or the student does not sign the receipt for the certified letter, after reasonable attempts, the SPRC chairperson may show by sworn statement that a reasonable attempt has been made to provide notice to the student and the SPRC shall proceed with 27

the hearing. A copy of the letter also will be sent to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs who will be available to advise the student in matters pertaining to the hearing.

H. A letter mailed or served personally on the student under 3-104 (G) shall: 1. document the violation(s) of professional behavior or academic honesty.

2. direct the student to be present at the specified time, date and place of the SPRC meeting.

3. advise the student of his/her rights to: a. a public or private hearing. b. appear in person alone or with an advisor. c. challenge the persons designated to hear the charges. d. know the identity of each person who will provide information in the case. e. summon individuals to provide information, require production of documentary and other evidence, offer evidence, and argue in his/her own behalf. f. question each person who will provide information in the case for the purpose of clarification. g. have a copy of the secretary’s record of the hearing. h. appeal as outlined in Section 3-102 (L).

4. Contain the names of any individuals who will provide information concerning the alleged violations of professional behavior or academic honesty.

5. Notify the student that the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and members of the SPRC may question the involved student and anyone else who provides information in the student’s behalf.

I. The student and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs shall disclose through the Committee chairperson five (5) business days before the meeting, the names of any persons to be called at the meeting.

J. The SPRC chairperson shall compile a list of all individuals who will present information on behalf of either the student or the School and shall distribute the list to the student and to each member of the SPRC four (4) business days before the meeting.

K. If the student in question is participating in Year 3 or Year 4 activities, at least two of the three clinical faculty members on the SPRC must be present for the hearing. The relevant campus dean can participate as an ex officio member without voting privileges.

L. The SPRC for good cause may postpone the hearing and notify all interested persons of the new hearing date, time and place. Upon request of the student, the SPRC also may waive the ten calendar day period of notice, informing all interested persons of the new hearing date, time and place.

M. Hearing Procedure 1. All hearings will be conducted with the objective of providing basic fairness to all parties.

2. The SPRC chairperson determines the format of the hearing based on policy and procedure.

3. The student states whether the hearing is to be open to 28

Section 4-101 Academic Grievances by Medical Students A. As per the UND Code of Student Life (IIIa-2), the term “academic grievance” is defined as: A statement expressing a complaint, resentment, or accusation lodged by a student about an academic circumstance (such as grading, testing, quality of instruction) which is thought by the student to be unfair.

B. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate and advance the grievance at all stages of the grievance.

C. Questions and/or challenges to individual items or answers on the multiple choice or case examinations during the first two years of medical school must be in writing and should be directed to the Director of Assessment in the Office of Medical Education as per published Office of Medical Education policy and must include: 1. specific reference to the item in question, 2. a detailed narrative explaining why the student thinks the item or answer needs attention, and 3. appropriate documented support for the student’s position from lecture, textbook, or any other resources.

D. Academic grievances with respect to grades must be initiated by the student within ten (10) business days after receipt of the grade. Each step of the grievance process must be initiated within ten (10) business days after a previous step has been completed. Response time at each step also shall be ten (10) business days.

E. Any student with an academic grievance should discuss that grievance with the involved faculty person (i.e., Block Director, Clerkship Director) and request relief from that person. Following the process outlined in Section 4-101 (C) meets this requirement for first and second year students.

F. If the grievance is not resolved at the faculty level, the student should discuss it with the Director of the Office of Medical Education or with the appropriate clinical department chairperson and request relief.

G. If the grievance is not resolved at the Office of Medical Education (OME) or clinical department level, the student may request a review of the grievance by the Student Performance and Recognition Committee (SPRC). The grievance must be presented in writing to the Chair of the SPRC. The SPRC will consult with all parties significantly involved in the grievance, document its findings, and make a decision. Copies of the decision will be forwarded to all principle parties.

H. The decision of the SPRC is the final step in the grievance process.

Section 4-102 Academic Grievances by Undergraduate Students* Taking Courses within the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences A. Definition.

As per the UND Code of Student Life (IIIa-2), the term “academic grievance” is defined as: A statement expressing a complaint, resentment, or accusation lodged by a student about an academic circumstance (such as grading, testing, quality of instruction) which is thought by the student to be unfair.

B. The Grievance Process.

1. Academic grievances must be initiated by the student within fifteen (15) business days after the receipt of a grade, completion of an examination, completion of instruction, etc. (i.e. academic circumstance) which the student thinks to be unfair. Each step of the grievance process must be initiated within ten (10) business days after a previous step has been completed. Response time at each step within the UNDSMHS also shall be ten (10) business days.

2. Any student with an academic grievance should discuss and attempt to resolve such grievance with the involved faculty member.

3. If the grievance is not resolved with the faculty member, the student should discuss and attempt to resolve the grievance with the departmental chairperson.

4. If the grievance is not resolved at the departmental level, the student should discuss and attempt to resolve the grievance with the Dean of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences or his/her designee.

5. If the grievance is not resolved in the Dean’s Office, the student may request a review of the grievance by the University’s Student Academic Standards Committee.

Grievances must be presented in writing to the chair of the Committee according to the process of that committee as described in the UND Code of Student Life, Section 3-2, Academic Grievances. This written statement should describe the grievance, indicate how it affects the individual, and include the remedy sought from the committee. A final decision will be reached within twenty (20) business days after the grievance has been filed.

6. The decision of the Academic Standards Committee is the final step in the grievance process.

7. In all stages of the grievance process, it is the responsibility of the student to initiate and advance the grievance to the appropriate stage of the process. * This section applies only to undergraduate students who are not majors within the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Athletic Training, Cytotechnology, Clinical Laboratory Science, Histotechnology, Physician Assistant, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Sports Medicine students should refer to the Grievance Policy in the Allied Health Section of this Academic Catalog.

Appendix Medical Student Grading Policy The following grading policy was adopted by the Faculty Academic Council in June, 2002 and was amended in June, 2006. The policy is based on the premise that the curriculum will be criterion-referenced and evaluations will be based on stated learning objectives. The grading system is intended to reflect the needs of the students, the faculty, and external agencies (e.g., residency programs).

A. Year 1 1. Students are graded “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory.”

2. All of the following specific student academic performance criteria must be met for a student to receive a grade of “Satisfactory” in a Year 1 block: a. A score of 75% or better on the knowledgebased multiple choice examination. b. A score of 75% or better on the case-based examination. c. A grade of “Satisfactory” from the student’s Patient Centered Learning (PCL) facilitator on the end-of-block evaluation.

29

d. A score of 80% or better on the clinical skills assessment (if applicable).

3. Failure of any component of assessment in an individual block will result in a grade of “Unsatisfactory” for the block and remediation will be required according to written policies and procedures (see Section 3-101C Consequences of Unsatisfactory Academic Performance).

B. Year 2 1. Classes of students up to and including the Class of 2005 will be graded “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory.”

2. All of the following specific student academic performance criteria must be met for a student to receive a grade of “Satisfactory” in a Year 2 block: a. A score of 75% or better on the knowledgebased multiple choice examination. b. A score of 75% or better on the case-based examination. c. A grade of “Satisfactory” from the student’s PCL facilitator on the end-of-block evaluation. d. A score of 80% or better on the clinical skills assessment (if applicable).

3. Beginning with the Class of 2006, in addition to “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” grading, outstanding student performance can be recognized with the award of “Honors” in any Year 2 block. All of the following specific student performance criteria must be met before a student can be considered for the award of “Honors”: a. A score of 90% or better on the knowledge- based multiple choice examination. b. A score of 90% or better on the case-based examination. c. A grade of “Satisfactory” from the student’s PCL facilitator on the end-of-block evaluation. d. A score of 90% or better on the clinical skills assessment (if applicable). e. Behavior during the block that exemplifies the standards of professional behavior and academic honesty (see Sections 3-101 to 3-104).

4. An Honors Committee will be responsible for making a final determination regarding the award of “Honors” in each block. The Honors Committee will be comprised of the following individuals: a. PCL Block Director b. IPC Block Director c. Chair, SPRC d. Associate Dean for Student Affairs e. Director of the Office of Medical Education f. Director of Assessment 5. When a student meets the academic criteria for consideration for the award of “Honors,” the student’s entire performance record for the block will be reviewed by the Honors Committee. Essential elements of the review will include, but not be limited to, the following: a. Results of end-of-block assessments. b. Written mid-block and end-of-block facilitator evaluations.

30

c. Other direct observations of student academic performance and behavior by administration, faculty, or peers that would assist the Honors Committee in determining, in their judgment, a student’s exemplary professional behavior and academic honesty.

6. Failure of any component of assessment in an individual block will result in a grade of “Unsatisfactory” for the block and remediation will be required according to written policies and procedures (see Section 3-101C Consequences of Unsatisfactory Academic Performance).

C. Year 3 1. Students are graded “Honors,” “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory.”

2. The passing criteria for clerkships and courses must be defined in writing and presented to all students at the beginning of each clerkship or course. Criteria for performance or objective testing, clinical skills, problem solving, behavioral characteristics, and professionalism should be included as well as any other required area of performance.

3. Specific criteria for achieving Honors must be established by each discipline and announced at the beginning of each clerkship or course.

4. A Satisfactory grade will be assigned to a student whose performance in a clerkship or course meets or exceeds the criterion level for passing which has been established by a department.

5. An Honors grade can be awarded to a maximum of the top 20 percent in each clerkship or course; however, disciplines may elect to award Honors to less than 20 per- cent of the class. Students must meet the defined criteria for Honors.

6. Honors in clinical clerkships will be awarded after all students have completed the clerkship.

7. An Unsatisfactory grade will be assigned to a student whose performance in a clerkship or course failed to meet the criterion level for passing which has been established by a department.

D. Year 4 1. Students are graded “Honors,” “Satisfactory,” or “Unsatisfactory”.

2. The passing criteria for acting internships and electives must be defined in writing and presented to students at the beginning of each acting internship or elective.

3. Specific criteria for achieving Honors must be established for each acting internship or elective and announced at the beginning of each acting internship or elective.

4. A “Satisfactory” grade will be assigned to a student whose performance in an acting internship or elective meets or exceeds the defined criterion level for passing.

5. In Year 4, the preceptors on the acting internships and electives may award Honors to as many students as have met the defined criteria.

6. An Unsatisfactory grade will be assigned to a student whose performance in a clerkship or course failed to meet the established criterion level for passing.

E. Other grades which can be recorded: 1. Incomplete (I) - An Incomplete grade will be assigned only to a student who has been doing Satisfactory work in a block, course, clerkship, acting internship, or elective, but who has not completed all the requirements due to extenuating medical and/or personal circumstances. The Incomplete must be removed within a specific time frame and according to criteria established by the appropriate faculty member. Failure to do so will result in conversion to an Unsatisfactory grade.

The Incomplete grade is a nonprejudicial entry on a student’s record.

2. Withdrawn (W) - The notation assigned to a student who has, with the permission of the instructor and approval

by SPRC, withdrawn from a block, course, clerkship, actinginternship, or elective, and/or has been granted a leave of absence.

Appendix Honor System A. Honor Pledge Upon entering the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, a student must sign a pledge stating that the student has read and understands the rules and regulations of the honor system and will abide by them.

B. Examination Procedure 1. The examiner must be present at the beginning of the examination period to answer any questions pertaining to the exam. In order to insure equal and proper treatment of all students, one of the following procedures must be adhered to by the examiner: a. The examiner will answer no questions. b. The examiner will answer questions but in doing so will repeat the question and response to the entire class.

2. The student is permitted to leave the examining room at any time during the course of the exam so long as the exam paper is left at the desk. Students completing the examination early will forfeit any opportunity for further information.

3. If an examination is ever lost prior to the time of correction and the student can prove to the SPRC that the student took the examination, the student has the option of either retaking the examination or receiving the average grade obtained by the class.

4. Students are given an opportunity to sign a form included with each examination requesting to be contacted by a member of the administration to discuss inappropriate behavior during an examination.

5. Should any instructor observe a student giving or receiving aid on an examination, the instructor will report his/her observations to the SPRC.

Statement of Teacher-Learner Relationship in Medical Education Code of Behavior The following statement is excerpted from a report by the AMA Section on Medical Schools in cooperation with the AMA Student and Resident Sections and reflects the policy of the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS).

“The teacher-learner relationship should be based on mutual trust, respect and responsibility. This relationship should be carried out in a professional manner in a learning environment that places strong focus on education, high quality patient care and ethical conduct.”

In the teacher-learner relationship, each party has certain legitimate expectations of the other. For example, the learner can expect that the teacher will provide instruction, guidance, inspiration and leadership in learning. The teacher expects the learner to make an appropriate professional investment of energy and intellect to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become an effective physician. Both parties can expect the other to prepare appropriately for the educational interaction and to discharge their responsibilities in the educational relationship with unfailing honesty. Expectations of medical students are further defined in the school’s Policies and Procedures Governing the Standards for Student Performance, Section 3-103: The Behavioral Component of Performance (A-E).

Medical education includes developing an understanding and appreciation of professional behavior. Students learn professional behavior primarily by observing the actions of their teacher role models.

Certain behaviors are inherently destructive to the teacherlearner relationship. Behaviors such as violence, sexual harassment, inappropriate discrimination based on personal characteristics must never be tolerated. Other behaviors including making habitual demeaning or derogatory remarks, belittling comments or destructive criticism fall into this category and interfere with professional development. On the behavioral level, abuse may be operationally defined as behavior by medical school faculty, residents, or a student which is consensually disapproved by society and by the academic community as either exploitive or punishing. Examples of inappropriate behavior include, but are not limited to, the following: • Harmful, injurious or offensive conduct • Verbal attacks • Insults or unjustifiably harsh language in speaking to or about a person • Public belittling or humiliation • Threats of physical harm • Physical attacks (e.g., hitting, slapping or kicking a person) • Requiring performance of personal services outside of the educational environment (e.g. shopping, babysitting) • Threatening with a lower grade or poor evaluation for reasons other than course/clerkship performance • A pattern of intentional neglect or lack of communication • Disregard for student safety

• Unnecessary or avoidable acts or words of a negative nature inflicted by one person on another person intended to cause humiliation. (Pointing out during rounds, conferences, and the like, that a student is not adequately prepared for his/her assignments or did not learn the required materials is not mistreatment unless done in an inappropriate manner.)

While criticism is part of the learning process, in order to be effective and constructive, it should be handled in a way to promote learning. Negative feedback is generally more useful when delivered in a private setting that fosters discussion and behavior modification. Feedback should focus on behavior rather than personal characteristics and should avoid pejorative labeling.

Teachers or students who encounter incidents of noncompliance with this policy are encouraged to notify the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions, the appropriate Campus Dean or the Senior Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs. The reporting of incidents which violate appropriate teacher-student relationships will be held in the strictest confidence and will be dealt with quickly and appropriately.

Education Education is the cornerstone in the prevention of student mistreatment. A thorough and ongoing effort should be made to inform all involved individuals about appropriate teacherlearner relationships and how to deal with alleged mistreatment. The following notification mechanisms will be used: Medical Students The Teacher-Learner Relationship Policy and the Complaint Resolution Procedure will be included in the SMHS Academic Catalog. A discussion of mistreatment in general, as well as of the policy in particular, will take place each year during orientation. Each course and clerkship director will be encouraged to include this policy in course- and clerkship-related materials.

Faculty and Residents An informative written message will be sent each year from the Dean’s Office to all Department Chairs. The Dean will direct the Chairs to convey the information to all faculty. The Dean will direct the Clinical Chairs to assure that all clerkship and course directors of clinical courses as well as resident program directors, faculty and residents in their departments are aware of the SMHS philosophy on the appropriate treatment of medical students and of this policy.

It is hoped that this policy will promote a positive environment for learning in the SMHS and affirm the importance of collegiality and respect for others.

Exclusions from this Policy: Specifically, this policy is not intended to include complaints of sexual harassment or complaints of discrimination on the basis of disability, race, color, sex, creed, sexual orientation, political beliefs, veteran’s status, age, marital or parental status, or national origin. The SMHS has specific policies to address these complaints. (Please see Student Code of Life, 33

SMHS Academic Catalog and the Faculty Handbook.)

Informal and Formal Complaint Resolution Any medical student (hereafter referred to as the “student”) who feels that he or she may have been subjected to abuse, discrimination or mistreatment of any kind by residents, faculty, graduate teaching assistants (GTA) or staff has the right to seek remedy through any one of multiple options.

Whenever an incident of abuse is reported, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) shall attempt to resolve the issue in a rapid and efficient manner, thereby maintaining a healthy teaching and learning environment. The SMHS will ensure that this process shall be free of retaliation.

The involved student has both informal and formal options available. Whenever possible the student is encouraged, but not required, to seek remedy at the most informal level which will adequately and appropriately address the student’s concerns. The following options are available within the complaint resolution process: Informal Direct resolution at the lowest level When it is felt that an incident of mistreatment has occurred, a student may meet with the individual involved in the complaint and come to an informal and mutually agreed upon resolution of the problem. The student will bring a representative of the program to aid in dispute resolution.

Representatives could include chief residents, program directors, administrators, advisors or other officials. There will not be a written record made concerning a matter that is resolved directly between the complainant and the alleged offender; however, the representative will monitor reoccurrences and will report to the Associate Dean for Student Affairs if behaviors recur.

Acknowledging that this informal approach may fall short at times because of reluctance of the student with the complaint to directly interact with the accused, intransigence of the accused, or differing perceptions of the incident by the parties involved, one of the following formal actions may be taken: Formal A. Meeting with the Associate Dean or Campus Dean Students may meet with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs, the Senior Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs or the appropriate campus dean to discuss a complaint and to develop a plan for resolution of the problem. The contacted Dean may assist in any intervention deemed necessary for resolution of the problem, including discussion with the appropriate chair.

With this action, anonymity of the student can no longer be maintained. Nevertheless, confidentiality is critical, and no information may be given to those not directly involved in the process.

B. The formal grievance procedure If the accused is within the SMHS faculty, staff or GTA, the student will be advised of his/her right to file a formal grievance to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs by completing the Teacher-Learner Incident Report Form. If the accused 34

is outside the SMHS, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will communicate the problem to the supervisor of the accused and they will work together to determine the appropriate formal grievance procedure.

After filing a formal grievance the following procedure is followed: The form will be forwarded to an Ad Hoc Committee appointed by the Senior Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs.

The committee will consist of two faculty members and a student from the campus where the grievance originated.

Basic science faculty members should be appointed if the complaint is against a basic science department member and clinical science faculty members should be appointed if the complaint is against a clinical science department member.

The Associate Dean shall appoint the chairperson of the committee who will ensure policy and procedure compliance.

Within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the grievance, the Ad Hoc Committee shall conduct an investigation, giving the reporting individual, the alleged offender and any other persons as the committee shall determine, a fair opportunity to express their views. Further, the committee shall make, in accordance with commonly held standards of conduct, as defined in the Code of Behavior, any necessary preliminary determination of what does or does not constitute reasonable or appropriate conduct and behavior.

Within ten (10) business days of the investigation meeting, the committee shall issue a written statement of their findings to the individual making the report, the alleged offender and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs renders a decision and takes appropriate action consistent with UND policy on disciplinary actions as set forth in the UND Faculty Handbook (www.und.nodak.edu/dept/registrar/senate/FacultyHandbook /) or staff information (www.humanresources.und.edu), as applicable.

Time Limit Complaints need to be filed with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs within two months of the alleged action.

However, a student may ask for the forwarding of the complaint to be deferred until after the student is evaluated by the involved faculty member/resident.

Chairs Involvement Reports forwarded to the Senior Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs will also be provided to the respective department chair of the alleged individual.

A central file of all complaints will be maintained in the Academic Affairs office. The Associate Dean, through the Teacher-Learner Incident Report Form, will monitor the resolution of these incidents to assure that correct procedures are followed at all times and where necessary refer them to the appropriate resources. A copy of the report of findings and the action by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will be filed in the offender’s personnel file.

Appeal If the accused is a faculty, staff or GTA member and wants to appeal the findings of the committee or the disciplinary action, a written appeal may be submitted to the Dean. If the accused is a resident physician, a written appeal may be submitted to the Associate Dean responsible for Graduate Medical Education.

If the accused is a medical student, a written appeal may be submitted to the SPRC who will conduct an appeal review by examining the proceedings of the committee as well as any new facts the accused student offers for consideration.

The accused student will be notified of the decision in writing.

There will be no further appeal.

Malicious Accusation A complainant or witness found to have been dishonest or malicious in making the allegation of mistreatment may be subject to disciplinary action. A charge of unprofessional behavior will be filed against the student and the appropriate action taken according to the SPRC procedures, Standards for Student Performance, Section 3-104.

Sexual Harassment and EEO Complaints A student alleging sexual harassment or unlawful discrimination may make a complaint in accordance with the procedure outlined in the UND Code of Student Life or to the Office of Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action.

Protection from Retaliation Every effort will be made to protect alleged victims of mistreatment from retaliation if they seek redress. Retaliation from anyone in a supervisory position within the SMHS, including a faculty member, chairperson, lab director, course director, residency training director, division chief, department head, dean or director will not be tolerated. To help prevent retaliation, those who are accused of mistreatment will be informed that retaliation is regarded as a form of mistreatment. Accusations that retaliation has occurred are handled in the same manner as accusations concerning other forms of mistreatment.

35

On Match Day, UND medical students’ most popular specialty choices are family medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, general surgery, and pediatrics.

Course of Study for the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) Degree Students enrolling at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences generally receive their M.D. degree after four years of successful study. They complete the first two years on the Grand Forks campus. For the third year, the traditional curriculum is provided on the Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks campuses or students may opt to participate in ROME (Rural Opportunities in Medical Education), completing seven months of the third year in a rural setting. In the fourth year, students study on one of the four clinical campuses at Grand Forks, Fargo, Bismarck or Minot. The curriculum for the four-year program of study is outlined below: First Year Orientation (one week): Students begin their medical education program with a one credit course entitled “Orientation to Patient-Centered Learning.” This course acquaints first-year medical students with small-group learning and problem-solving principles used in the curriculum.

First and Second Years - Overview of Patient-Centered Learning (PCL) The basic and clinical sciences content begins with fundamental concepts that serve as the foundation for the more advanced concepts encountered later in the curriculum.

Integrated basic and clinical sciences are taught in a series spanning Blocks I-VIII, using small group, case-based discussions as the centerpiece, with a supporting framework of lectures, laboratory, and clinical skills experiences. Each block includes eight weeks of instruction, one week of assessment and one week for special studies. The first year of the medical education curriculum is comprised of Blocks I-IV (40 weeks), arranged in a “systems approach.” These four blocks include biological, behavioral and social sciences; basic clinical skills, and integrative clinical correlations. Blocks V-VIII, the second year of the medical student curriculum (40 weeks), focuses on pathobiology and includes an acute ambulatory care experience (ACE).

Using a small group case-based format, students learn the basic and clinical sciences through analysis of appropriate clinical cases. The small-group sessions stress independent learning to strengthen individual problem-solving skills.

Advanced biological, behavioral and social concepts are presented throughout the curriculum. Emphasis is placed on instruction, the assessment of student performance, and development of independent learning skills necessary for establishing a personal commitment to lifelong learning.

The curriculum for Years 1 and 2 is designed to bridge the gap between the preclinical and clinical years by developing and fostering the students’ understanding of clinical problems. The students begin interacting with patients during the first semester in both the physician wrap-up session each week in PCL and throughout the clinical component of the curriculum. To be successful, students must synthesize large amounts of information, effectively apply science concepts to clinical problems, and integrate concepts across disciplines.

They learn the dynamics of the doctor-patient relationship,

how to interview patients, and how to conduct physical examinations.

Ambulatory Care Experience (ACE) The ambulatory care experience (ACE) occurs throughout the second year. The students perform several history and physical exams on patients while being observed by physician preceptors. Following each physical exam, they write up their findings, receive formative feedback from preceptors, and do case presentations to their peers and faculty.

Assessment Week Following the eight-week instruction period for each block, a week of assessment occurs. The components of assessment week include a multiple choice exam, a casebased exam, and a skills examination (e.g., physical examination, interviewing skills exercise, etc.) which varies depending on the skills emphasized in a given block. Students are also assessed by their faculty facilitators on their performance in PCL throughout the block.

Special Studies Week Failure of any one component of assessment in an individual block results in an unsatisfactory grade for the block.

Remediation of a single failed component can be accomplished during Special Studies Week. The details for the remediation process are tailored to the individual’s performance on the assessment component failed.

Interprofessionalism Course In the second half of the first year, or the first half of the second year, students take a six-week course designed to teach them a team-based approach to patient care. Students from other health professions, including nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy, as well as social work and speech therapy students, join second year medical students in learning this approach to patient care.

Third and Fourth Years Students are taught in clinical settings throughout the third and fourth years. These experiences provide students exposure to clinical milieus ranging from physician practices in a rural health care system to urban medical centers. The curriculum model provides students a strong generalist base, regardless of their final career choice. Third-year students have the option to participate in traditional clerkship experiences or to participate in an integrated longitudinal continuity-of-care experience, the Rural Opportunity in Medical Education (ROME) program. Both are described below.

The traditional third-year curriculum consists of six clerkships of eight weeks each offered on the southwest (Bismarck), southeast (Fargo), and northeast (Grand Forks) campuses: Family Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry. At least four weeks during the third or fourth year must be done at a rural site. In addition, students take a longitudinal clinical epidemiology course during the third year.

37

The Rural Opportunities in Medical Education (ROME) program is a 28-week interdisciplinary experience in a rural primary care setting open to third-year students. Students live and train in a nonmetropolitan community under the supervision of physician preceptors. A goal of the ROME program is an integrated continuity-of-care experience in rural communities in North Dakota. ROME students complete the third year by completing four-week rotations in internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics; and eight weeks in psychiatry at their home campus.

Acting Internships in internal medicine and surgery are required in the fourth year. Each internship is four weeks and is designed to teach students how to function in the hospital setting at the level of a first-year intern. Students fine-tune their skills for making the initial patient contact, taking a patient history, performing a physical examination, formulating problem lists and a diagnostic plan, developing a therapeutic plan, writing orders, doing patient follow-up, writing progress notes and discharge notes. Each student requires supervision of a committed senior resident or physician on site.

Six electives (four weeks each) also are required. For specific elective listings for each campus, see Elective Guidelines (www.med.und.nodak.edu/ome/curriculumsenior.html).

The Senior Colloquium is offered just prior to graduation and may include, but is not limited to, such topics as professionalism, resident clinical teaching skills, evidence-based medicine, a pharmacology update including pharmacogenomics, the impaired colleague, how to survive residency, financial planning, credentialing and loan repayment.

Completion of a research project is a requirement for graduation. Guidelines for preparing a research paper are provided by the Department of Family and Community Medicine.

Students are required to pass USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 for promotion/graduation.

Orazklych, Turkmenistan The departments of Family Medicine and Community Medicine were merged July 1, 2006 to become the Department of Family and Community Medicine.

The Department of Community Medicine was established in 1968 by Dr. Theodore Harwood to provide liaison between the medical school and practicing physicians throughout the state of North Dakota. Over the years, many programs important to the medical school have had their origin in Community Medicine. These include the Center for Rural Health, the Indians into Medicine (INMED) Program, the Center for Health Promotion and Translation Research (CHPTR), the Diabetes Quality Care Monitoring System (DQCMS), the Physician Assistant Program and the Family Nurse Practitioner Program. In addition, the departments of Community Medicine and Family Medicine conduct a joint research pro-

gram that is required of medical students. Finally, Community Medicine has developed an exchange program with medical students in Norway, and a collaboration with the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, leading to a joint MD/MPH degree for a select number of graduating seniors.

The Department of Community Medicine has a long tradition of working in close partnership with the North Dakota State Department of Health. This is evident in such programs as the North Dakota Tobacco Quitline and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). There is a similar long tradition of working with the Indian Health Service in areas such as manpower training and diabetes care.

Both undergraduate and graduate students at UND have the opportunity to participate in clinical research under the supervision of qualified faculty. In recent years student research has centered on quality improvement activities in teaching facilities around the state. Future efforts will be directed at developing wellness and chronic disease management programs.

The Department of Family Medicine (DFM) is organized and functions as a statewide campus, providing educational opportunities in rural and urban medical centers. The DFM is responsible for an eight-week Family Medicine Clerkship during Year 3. (The DFM also has significant responsibility for Rural Opportunities in Medical Education (ROME), a 28 week continuity experience during Year 3 (see below).) Elective opportunities also available through the DFM include Trauma and Emergency Room Medicine, Student Health, Chemical Dependency, Parental/Enteral Nutrition, Native American Ambulatory Health Care, Research Project Practicum, and additional Family Medicine electives including statewide and international sites.

Required Eight-week Clerkship During this required eight-week clerkship, students will have a continuity experience with family physicians who provide broad-based medical care. Students will integrate, expand and refine clinical skills; develop an understanding of the impact and relationship of health problems on patients and their families; develop awareness of the impact of culture and families on patients’ perception and reception of health care; experience the scope of care provided by family physicians; develop an awareness of personal limitations, and complete a scientific project.

Rural Opportunities in Medical Education (ROME) ROME is a 28-week, interdisciplinary experience in a rural primary care setting, open to third-year students at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students live and train in non-metropolitan communities under the supervision of physician preceptors. ROME students experience health care delivery in rural areas throughout the state of North Dakota, where providing access to health care is sometimes challenging. Students learn about problems commonly encountered in primary care, from routine health maintenance to medical emergencies and rare and unusual diagnosis. Each primary preceptor is board-certified 51

in family medicine, but students also will work with board-certified surgeons, internists, pediatricians, and other specialists available in the community.

(Pharm.D.), Fargo Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor: The faculty of the Department of Internal Medicine believes that internal medicine forms the foundation of all clinical medicine. The department is organized on a statewide basis to provide quality education in teaching students to think logically and to understand how the patient and disease interrelate. The department’s aim is to have students understand why patients are treated, as well as how they are treated.

The required courses have been designed to integrate the student’s knowledge of basic science with clinical medicine.

The elective courses offer an extensive range of experience in general internal medicine and all its subspecialties.

Advanced Experience in Internal Medicine The required Advanced Experience in Internal Medicine extends the student’s Internal Medicine experience with added clinical exposure and responsibility. Students can select, if available, experiences in critical care, hospital-based internal medicine, non-urban internal medicine or, if not accomplished during the third-year clerkship, an ambulatory 57

experience. The objective of these rotations is to ensure mastery of reporter clinical skills, with additional development of interpretive, manager, procedural and self-education skills.

Required Course for Medical Students 8101 and 8201. Third-year Internal Medicine Clerkship.

This required course is a core clinical experience in internal medicine. The student will be expected to thoroughly evaluate, present histories and physicals, differential diagnosis and propose therapeutic plans on at least 24 patients. The student also will be required to meet the defined educational objectives through a series of lectures, assigned reading, preceptor interaction and computer interactions. On Fargo, Bismarck and Grand Forks campuses, the student should anticipate a short night call schedule every fourth night. Course directors: Dr. W.P. Newman (Fargo), Dr. J. Hagan (Bismarck), Dr. L.

Third and Fourth Years Students are taught in clinical settings throughout the third and fourth years. These experiences provide students exposure to clinical milieus ranging from physician practices in a rural health care system to urban medical centers. The curriculum model provides students a strong generalist base, regardless of their final career choice. Third-year students have an option to participate in a traditional clerkship experience or a rural opportunity in medical education (ROME) experience. Both are described below.

The traditional third-year curriculum consists of the following six clerkships of eight weeks each on the Southwest (Bismarck), Southeast (Fargo), and Northeast (Grand Forks) campuses: Family Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Psychiatry. At least four weeks of the Family Medicine clerkship must be done at a rural site. In addition, students take a longitudinal clinical epidemiology course during the third year.

For ROME students, the third-year clerkship in Obstetrics and Gynecology consists of four weeks in a traditional curriculum in Fargo or Bismarck and the remainder is acquired during the course of their rural experience.

Fourth year electives in general obstetrics and gynecology as well as subspecialty areas are offered in-state while out-of-state electives are also available.

Our goal is to equip students with the knowledge and skills essential for the management of patients with acute surgical illness and to recognize when the ill patient may benefit from the advice from or management by a surgeon. Our programs concentrate on those areas which are principally the domain of surgeons. These areas include trauma, localized infections, solid tumors and abnormalities in the structure of body tissues, congenital or acquired, which require repair or removal.

In 1984, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education of the American Medical Association approved a five-year residency program in general surgery. Four residents are selected each year to enter the program, two in the categorical program of general surgery and two in the preliminary tract which could lead to surgery subspecialty training. Other post-MD educational programs include input to the curriculum of family practice residency and to continuing medical education in surgery.

Required Courses for Third-year Medical Students 8101. Surgery - Bismarck campus: six weeks of general surgery, two weeks of cardiothoracic surgery (eight weeks total) with 1 day/week of ENT and urology 8201. Surgery - Fargo campus: six weeks of general surgery, two weeks of cardiothoracic surgery (eight weeks total) with 1 day/week of ENT and urology 8301. Surgery - Grand Forks campus: six weeks of general surgery, two weeks of cardiothoracic surgery (eight weeks total) with 1 day/week of ENT and urology

Acting Internships Introduction Surgery is a broad discipline encompassing many subspecialties but exposure to general surgery and these specialties is limited in the third year of medical school. Further experience in the fourth year of training is designed to enhance the students’ knowledge of surgery and also expose the students to an environment that will prepare them to enter residency with confidence and successfully complete resident training following graduation. Acting internships (AI) in general surgery, orthopedic surgery and cardiothoracic surgery are available for the current academic year.

Students will participate in both inpatient and outpatient settings with the emphasis on outpatient experience, particularly in the orthopedic AI. Students will be expected as part of the AI to function in a manner similar to a first-year resident.

3. Demonstration of skills relating to the diagnosis and management of patients 4. Professional conduct including interactions with other medical personnel such as nursing, physical therapy, etc.

5. Availability for and participation in clinical activities as determined by the preceptor 6. Demonstration of sensitive patient interaction skills and ethical behavior Grading will follow recommendations of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Objectives A. General Surgery 1. To expose the student to a learning environment that will prepare the student for successful residency training 2. To gain a perspective of general surgery as it relates to other disciplines, particularly primary care 3. Gain experience in the recognition of surgical diseases (both acute and chronic) and their management 4. Expose the students to technical aspects of surgery and improve their basic surgical skills

As a general principle, no more than 20 percent of students would receive honors and must meet strict criteria to receive an honors grade.

The evaluation form has significant space for comments and it is this area that is most valuable with respect to the clinical evaluation.

B. Orthopedic Surgery 1. Provide the student an experience in orthopedic surgery that will help him or her to understand the relationships of orthopedics with other areas of medical practice 2. Familiarize the student with the recognition, diagnosis and management of common musculoskeletal problems 3. Participate in the care of orthopedic problems in the outpatient, inpatient and emergency room 4. Enhance the technical skills of students, particularly as it applies to the management of orthopedic trauma C. Cardiothoracic Surgery 1. Provide the student with an experience in the surgical management of diseases involving the heart, great vessels, lungs, and other thoracic structures 2. Development of an understanding of the role of surgery in devising an optimal strategy for the management of patients with cardiac and other thoracic disease 3. Familiarize the student with the patients who are to undergo surgical procedures 4. Develop some degree of technical familiarity and proficiency with cardiothoracic procedures, including basic surgical skills Criteria for Grading Criteria will include the following: 1. Assessment of history and physical examination skills 2. Preparation for clinical encounters with the preceptors including in the operating room

Guidelines for Grading Surgery Students: *Achieve a total of 70 points by combining: clinical evaluation (60%) oral exam (10%) NBME Shelf exam (30%)*

(Ph.D.) Program Director Instructor of Pathology: Peterson, Karen (M.S.) Porter, Robert (M.S.) Ray, Linda (B.S.) Schill, Janna (M.S.) Solberg, Brooke (M.S.) Triske, Chris (M.S.) The University of North Dakota has offered a degree in clinical laboratory science since 1949. The Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS) program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), which is located at 5600 N. River Road, Suite 720, Rosemont, IL 60018-5119.

Clinical laboratory scientists, sometimes referred to as medical technologists or medical laboratory scientists, are key members of the health care team. They are concerned with the study and practice of diagnostic medicine and generate accurate and reliable test results in chemistry, hematology, immunology, immunohematology and microbiology. The results provide valuable information used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Excellent employment opportunities exist not only in hospitals and clinics, but also in physician offices, government agencies, industry, research, the armed forces and health related facilities. A severe shortage of clinical laboratory scientists exists and has generated a large demand for new graduates. In addition to immediate employment opportunities, many graduates attend medical school or pursue graduate degrees in science, management or education.

B.S. Clinical Laboratory Science Students complete a pre-professional curriculum (pre CLS) at UND. The pre-professional curriculum includes approximately fours semesters of specific preparatory coursework for admission into the professional (BS CLS) curriculum. The professional program (BS CLS) program is approximately five semesters in length and includes two semesters of preparatory coursework and three semesters in the final clinical year.

The final clinical year of the professional curriculum is 37 credits and includes a 12 week on campus experience in the summer semester, online coursework, and a 28 week clinical affiliation experience. Upon successful completion of all courses, the student receives a BS in CLS degree from The University of North Dakota and is eligible to complete the national certification exam.

Application for advancement to the professional education component is made directly after the second semester of the sophomore year. Applicants to the professional program must have a cumulative GPA of 2.8 and no more than one D in any math or science course. Exceptions for acceptance and

continuance may be made by petition to the Department of Pathology Professional and Academic Standards Committee.

During the second year of the professional curriculum (senior year), students register for courses in the summer, fall and spring semesters.

When a student is registered in 300 and 400 level CLS courses a specific CLS tuition is assessed.

University commencement and program completion both occur at the end of the summer session. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the national certifying examination administered by the Board of Certification of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Most cytotechnologists work in hospitals or private laboratories, while some prefer to work in research or teaching.

Employment opportunities are presently fair to good.

Program information, advising, and application forms are available through the program director in room 5909 UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences, or on our website http://medicine.nodak.edu/cytotech, or phone 701-777-4466, or e-mail, khoffman@medicine.nodak.edu.

Cytotechnologists are laboratory professionals trained to microscopically screen and interpret gynecological and nongynecological cellular samples. Cytotechnologists work with pathologists in the anatomic pathology laboratory to diagnosis a variety of benign and malignant conditions from all over the body. Other duties include assisting with fine needle aspirates, as well as specimen preparation and staining. The most critical task of the cytotechnologist is the recognition and identification of abnormal cells present in the specimen. They mark the cellular changes that indicate disease and submit the findings to the pathologist for final diagnosis. The identification of cellular abnormalities is critical to the early detection and diagnosis of disease, which will directly affect a patient’s ability to receive the proper follow-up care and treatment.

Specimens, examined by the cytotechnologist, come from various body sites, such as the female genital tract, the lung, the urinary bladder, or any body cavity shedding cells.

Cytotechnologists must be accurate and reliable because they work independently with little supervision. Cytotechnologists enjoy challenges and must have the confidence to make diagnoses based on cell findings.

Diagnostic cytology practice is documented at UND back to 1952. The Department of Pathology has offered accredited training in cytotechnology since 1967. Awarded reaccredidation in 2009, this program is the only program of its type in North Dakota and one of 33 nationwide.

The UNDSMHS Program (Path 401, Path 402 and Path 403) is a 12-month professional program. It is designed to be taken as either a fifth year, following a baccalaureate in another major (e.g., biology), or as the fourth year of a major in cytotechnology. Enrollment is limited to eight students per year. Students are selected using criteria of: application essay, academic performance, references, and an interview with program officials. Applications for admission to the Cytotechnology Program should be submitted to the program director. To be eligible for enrollment, applicants must meet these requirements: (1)They must have completed all required prerequisite courses with a grade of C or better.

Histotechnicians prepare specimens for research or medical diagnosis by a pathologist. They work to process tissues that have been removed during surgery. Fine motor skills are used to cut the tissue into very thin slices, which are mounted on slides and stained with special dyes to make the cell details visible under the microscope. Microscopic examination of these tissue sections allow for the detection of disease processes and aids in deciding the course of treatment for the patient.

Histotechnicians must work quickly, as they are frequently under pressure to deliver results while the patient is in surgery. They work with fragile, delicate instruments as well as knives, chemicals, and glass slides. He or she must value precision and be comfortable working with equipment that requires careful monitoring.

Adjunct Instructor: Frappier, John (P.T.) The Department of Physical Therapy offers the clinicallyorientated, entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. Students interested in the physical therapy program at UND should keep in contact with UND-PT to keep informed of the pre-professional and professional curriculum. Our website is www.medicine.nodak.edu/pt.

Physical therapists provide services to patients who have impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities. Physical therapists assist patients in restoring health; alleviating pain; and examining, evaluating, and diagnosing changes in physical function and health status resulting from injury, disease, or other causes. Physical therapists are also involved with intervention, prevention, and the promotion of health, wellness, and fitness. They are employed by hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, home care, school systems, industrial settings, athletic facilities, and in private practice.

Pre-Physical Therapy Requirements Prior to admission, a minimum of 90 semester hours of credit from an approved college or university is required.

Students should be broadly educated in the sciences and humanities. The Department of Physical Therapy recognizes that, since physical therapy deals with people, an understanding of literature, art, history, ethics, and philosophy is an adjunct to a physical therapist. Science and humanities are both viewed as necessary for the practice of physical therapy.

The following list of courses and credits indicates the core prerequisites that all applicants must complete prior to admission to the physical therapy program. It is strongly recommended that students be computer literate prior to entering the professional program. Students may take additional electives from any field of study; however, the depth of the pre-

physical therapy education should demonstrate that students have progressed from simple to complex studies in at least one content area. This requirement might typically be demonstrated by a discipline major, but in any case should demonstrate a basic comprehensiveness and integrity of study within a particular content area. This does not suggest that a separate undergraduate degree must be awarded; however, the breadth and depth in a discipline should be demonstrated. Course credits equivalent to minor (i.e., approximately 20 credits at UND) in a particular discipline could accomplish this requirement. The prospective student should include 8 credits from upper level courses (i.e., 300 and/or 400 numbers). l l l l l l l l l l l l

All of the prerequisite coursework must be complete before entering the professional program in the Fall semester.

However, the prospective student may be enrolled in pre-professional coursework at the time of application. Students must apply for the professional program. WICHE eligible students must apply to UND-PT through the WICHE certification process. Out-of-state student inquiries should be addressed to the Admissions Coordinator at UND-PT. Applications for the professional program are available on our website and the Graduate School website beginning November 1. Applications must be made no later than February 1 of the year the student wishes to enter the professional program.

Admission Requirements 1. Acceptance is on a competitive basis, with the major determinant being the basic science grade point average. The basic science GPA is defined as: biology (8 semester credits), chemistry (8 semester credits), physics (8 semester credits), anatomy (3 semester credits), physiology (4 semester credits), and psychology (7 semester credits).

2. Reference letters, a personal interview, and other personal qualifications are also considered prior to final acceptance.

Prospective students are expected to complete at least 60 hours of observation prior to admission.

103

Degree Requirements 1. The professional education component of the D.P.T. will require three academic years and two summer sessions following completion of the pre-physical therapy entrance requirements. Refer to the graduate section of the UND Academic Catalog for full details.

PT 423

2. No student will be allowed to remain in the program or complete the full-time clinical experiences unless he/she attains a letter grade of at least “C” in the major courses.

3. Acceptance into the Graduate School requires: a. Acceptance into the professional Physical Therapy program. b. Completion of the Graduate School application forms.

4. Students in the professional program should be aware that there are special requirements for clinical uniforms, professional liability insurance, medical insurance, a current immunization record, and CPR certification. A criminal background check must be met prior to admission to the professional program. The student will also be responsible for travel, housing, and food costs, in addition to the payment of tuition, during the full-time clinical experience semesters. The majority of these experiences will be completed at geographical locations other than the City of Grand Forks.

5. The faculty reserves the right to place on professional probation or to cancel the registration of any student in Physical Therapy whose performance in the classroom or the clinic is unsatisfactory.

Medical Student Life

Student Government Each medical school class elects officers as well as class representatives to the school-wide governance body for students, the UNDSMHS Student Council. The class president and the secretary-treasurer automatically serve on the student council. Two additional student council members are elected by each class. Representatives of the student body also serve on the school’s Admissions Committee, the Library Committee, the Medical Curriculum Committee, and the Student Performance and Recognition Committee. The positions on all four of these committees are elective. The Student Council President also is a voting member of the Faculty Academic Council (FAC), the highest governing body in the school, and the second year class president represents students on the Dean’s Advisory Council. Finally, each class elects members to represent them on each of the five North Dakota Medical Association commissions. The role of these students as representatives of their classes is extremely important.

Extracurricular Activities All extracurricular activities of the university are available to medical students. These are numerous and varied, encompassing the arts, athletics, religious activities, social activities and several other areas of interest. The medical school sponsors intramural athletic teams based on the interest of students, and the medical school cosponsors, with the UND Law School, the annual “malpractice bowls,” featuring men’s and women’s football.

Professional and Specialty Organizations Medical students may participate in a number of professional or medical specialty organizations. The American Medical Student Association (AMSA), established in 1952, was the first organization with a local chapter at UNDSMHS. The School of Medicine and Health Sciences also has active local chapters of the American Medical Women’s Association

(AMWA) and the Medical Student Section of the American Medical Association/North Dakota Medical Association (AMA/NDMA). The North Dakota Academy of Family Physicians (NDAFP) actively extends membership to enrolled medical students and the most recent student organizations are Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), the Christian Medical – Dental Association (CMDA) and Doctors Ought to Care (DOC). In addition, a Family Medicine Interest Group, an Internal Medicine Interest Group, a Surgery Interest Group, a Pediatrics Interest Group, an Emergency Medicine Interest Group, a Pathology Interest Group, an Obstetrics and Gynecology Interest Group, and an Orthopedic Surgery Interest Group are active on the Grand Forks campus. Finally, the local chapter of DOC (Doctors Ought to Care) is organized by medical students to provide education concerning tobacco use to elementary school children.

The activities of each organization are defined both by the general purpose of the organization and the interests of the members. Furthering academic interests, sponsoring social activities, conducting selected service projects, and fostering professional relations with other medical students across the country are common activities. In the service project category, for example, the local AMWA chapter sponsors a walk-run for breast cancer awareness each year while the local AMSA chapter conducts a “science day” for area elementary school children. DOC offers education seminars in third- and fourthgrade classrooms targeted at the dangers of tobacco use.

Many of the organizations also provide national publications as a member benefit.

The UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences also participates in the Association of American Medical Colleges’ Organization of Student Representatives (AAMC-OSR). A student representative, selected by the Student Council, attends the national and regional OSR meetings each year. The meetings provide a forum for educational issues which are common to all or most medical students across the country.

Campus Life, Resources and Opportunities

University of North Dakota The University of North Dakota (UND) is a coeducational, state-supported institution located in Grand Forks in the heart of the Red River Valley. The Grand Forks-East Grand Forks (MN) community has a total population of approximately 60,000.

The university is one of 11 institutions that make up the North Dakota University System and is governed by the State Board of Higher Education.

In 1883, six years before North Dakota became a state, the territorial legislature passed a bill establishing the University of North Dakota as a combined college of arts and letters and a normal college. On September 8, 1884, the doors opened with a faculty of four and a student body totaling 11.

Since that time the university has grown to include: College of Business and Public Administration, School of Engineering and Mines, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education and Human Development, the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, School of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Law, College of Nursing, Graduate School, and Division of Continuing Education.

In the span of years since 1883, the university has grown from a one-building institution to a large educational complex valued at more than $89 million and covering 549 acres.

The largest institution of higher learning in the Dakotas and northwestern Minnesota, UND is a classified as a “high research activity, doctoral/professional and engaged university” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, offering 23 doctoral programs, the M.D. degree, the J.D. degree, master’s degrees in 57 programs and undergraduate degrees in more than 80 fields of study. Approximately 13,000 students enroll at the university annually, and the faculty has increased from the original four to more than 774 full-time faculty and research staff.

USDA Human Nutrition Research Center The Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center is located two blocks from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences on the eastern edge of the campus of the university.

The mission of the center is to serve the public through research to determine nutrient needs for humans and to provide information concerning healthy food choices and a healthful food supply. Emphasis is on determining mineral requirements that prevent disease and promote health and optimal function throughout life. Mineral elements studied are zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, iron, magnesium, nickel, vanadium, silicon, manganese, arsenic and boron. Nutritional information produced ultimately reaches the public through mechanisms such as the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) or Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Scientists at the center also teach at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the facilities of the laboratory are available to faculty and students for cooperative research projects.

Student Life Housing: On-campus Residence Halls Men’s, women’s and coed residence halls are available for students at the University of North Dakota. Two coed halls are reserved for older, upperclass and graduate students.
