It takes dedication and sacrifice to get into medical school.
Once there, expectations and demands are high. A medical or dental student’s grades, clinical knowledge, and skills are appraised. Constantly. They must adhere to the medical school’s standards of conduct.
Medical/dental students have an investment in their education. They have financial challenges and enormous student loans. This investment is at risk when they face sanctions or dismissal.
When a requirement is not met, a school may act. They can place a student on academic probation, suspend, or dismiss them.
All have serious consequences. Medical and dental schools are ultra-competitive. Falling behind has lasting effects. The financial investment may be lost. As will the dream of a medical career.
We have experience with academic progress, code of conduct, and clinical evaluation appeals.
We appreciate and understand the immense pressures of medical school. Most of all, we know what’s at risk. We’re here to help you navigate the appeals process and protect your future.
Medical and dental students may face discipline for both performance and academic misconduct.
Poor grades. A failure to meet progress requirements. Clinical failures. They may all result in remediation, suspension, or expulsion.
Academic misconduct covers a wide range of actions. Plagiarism. Cheating. Collaborating when not allowed. Using unauthorized materials in an exam. Code of Conduct violations. These are just a few examples. Suspension or expulsion are the most common penalties.
Facing disciplinary action? You have rights. Contact us and protect your medical/dental career.
These can have a severe impact on performance. More often than not, the school is unaware of them. More often than not, the school would have acted differently had they known.
Adverse actions by your medical school should be appealed. Immediately.
Some schools have a short appeal time frame. It is imperative not to fall behind in your medical education.
Every minute spent on suspension, every day of expulsion, puts you behind. We have the experience to fight for your academic future. Contact The Hahn Legal Group today.
