Leave of Absence Policy

A leave of absence for good reason may be granted by the Vice Dean for Medical Education. Ordinarily, a leave of absence is not granted for reason of academic difficulty. All requests for leaves of absence should be submitted in writing to the Vice Dean for Medical Education with a copy to the Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs. Any student granted a leave must, upon his or her return, submit a letter requesting reinstatement to the Vice Dean for Medical Education with a copy to the Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
