Attendance
Every component of PCM 1 is considered important for the professional
development of first year medical students. Therefore, the expectation is that
students will attend all in-person components and small group sessions of
PCM 1. However, it is understood that emergencies arise and students may need to
miss an activity.
In ALL cases, it is the student's responsibility to inform his/her facilitators,
the course director, Jim Winger, M.D and the education coordinator, Diane
Stancik. Any planned, non-emergent absences must be discussed with and cleared
through the Assistant Director, Student Affairs, Viviana Martinez, (email:
vimartinez@luc.edu, phone: 708-216-8617), 30 days prior to the absence.
Make up work may be required depending on the nature of the absence.
Repeated absences may result in a "Concern" being noted within the
"Professionalism" competency assessment. A pattern of excessive absences will
result in a "Does Not Meet Expectations" for the "Professionalism" competency.
You may be expected to make up work missed for absences. Failure to comply with
this attendance policy may result in failure of PCM 1.
