Conduct & Discipline

Efforts are made to investigate and apply appropriate disciplinary measures against students who are in breach of University College regulations. Despite the relevant orientation and counselling, some students remain susceptible to a number of offences that do not augur well for communal co-existence.

Attendance

The faculty and administration at KQMUC- school of Medicine requires regular and punctual attendance in all classes. Attendance and active participation in class will benefit classmates, colleagues, and enhance the individual student’s knowledge base. Therefore, students are expected to attend all Basic medical Science classes and clinical rotations. Students who are absent from 21 days continuous  of the Basic medical science classes will have to repeat the class and are subject to dismissal from the MBBS program.

 

Honor System

KQMUC– School of Medicine is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, academic performance, professional behaviour, and respect for each other as individuals. Students are expected to maintain these high standards of professional behaviour in all aspects of their medical school training, in both the academic setting and in the community.

Students are required to sign an Honour Code contract prior to matriculation stating that s/he will maintain a high degree of personal honour and integrity during their medical training. Breach of this contract may result in sanctions ranging from a warning to the student’s dismissal from school. The rights and responsibilities of students with regard to regulations pertaining to student conduct can be found in the current Student Handbook.

The Associate Deans will make a decision after receiving the appeal request whether to accept or deny.

 

Examinations

Examinations will be given in each basic science course throughout the semester with final exams given at the end of each semester. Quizzes, oral presentations, and writing assignments may be used at the discretion of the instructor. Examinations are generally given in a format compatible with that of the USMLE and will include laboratory and clinical skills assessment when appropriate.

Scheduled examination policy and procedures are determined by the faculty and presented to the students at the beginning of each course, as well as outlined in the class syllabus and Student Handbook.
