Remediation

 This policy outlines the procedures for remediation following unsatisfactory performance on course assessments, OSCEs/skills assessments, and program summative assessments. The goal of remediation is to identify learning deficits, support student success, and ensure competency while maintaining academic standards. (A3.14c)

 

Didactic Assessment Remediation

 

Course Assessments

1.Threshold for Remediation

a. A score of <70% on a formative exam requires remediation.

2.Remediation Process

a. Student should immediately initiate contact with course director following receiving a score of <70% on a formative exam.
b. Students meets with the course director to review missed questions.
c. Course director identifies areas of improvement and assigns an informal remediation task (e.g., written assignment, narrative, diagram).
d. The student has two weeks to complete the remediation requirements assigned by the course director.
e. Students submit the remediation assignment by the deadline.

f. Course director reviews and determines whether the knowledge gap has been met or remains unmet.

g, If the student does not successfully complete the remediation task, they will be referred to the Academic Performance and Advancement Committee (APAC). APAC will:

  1. Review all relevant materials
  2.  Meet with the student
  3. Develop a proposed action plan, including required steps and a timeline for completion, for approval by the Program Director
  4. Notify the Program Director upon the student’s successful completion of the action plan
  5. Ensure the student has satisfactorily completed and exited the action plan by the end of the term

 

h. Remediation does not result in a grade change.

3.Documentation

a. Successful completion is determined at the discretion of the course director.
b. Documentation of remediation is scanned into the student’s file.

 

OSCEs and Skills Assessments

b. Student meets with the course director
c. Course director review areas of improvement with student
d. Remediation will be developed by the course director
e. For recorded assessments, student will review their encounter and perform a self-reflection
f. If the student does not successfully complete the remediation task, they will be referred to the Academic Performance and Advancement Committee (APAC). APAC will:

  i. Review all relevant materials
  ii.Meet with the student
  ii. Develop a proposed action plan, including required steps and a timeline for completion, for approval by the Program Director
  iv. Notify the Program Director upon the student’s successful completion of the action plan
  v. Ensure the student has satisfactorily completed and exited the action plan by the end of the term

 

  g. Remediation does not result in a grade change.

  v. Ensure the student has satisfactorily completed and exited the action plan by the end of the term

d. Remediation does not result in a grade change

 

3.Outcomes and Risks

a. Upon successful remediation, a course grade of “U” will be replaced with a “C” to allow continuation in the program.
b. Failure to complete remediation or to achieve a “C” on a remediated assessment places the student at risk of dismissal.
c. A second course grade of “U” after successful remediation subjects the student to consideration for dismissal.
