A Message from the Dean

Dear Colleague: 

You have joined a profession with a long tradition stretching back over the centuries to a time lost to the mists, when physicians had no understanding of disease, science, or even basic anatomy. Today we have opportunities to apply the best biologic science to the solution of human problems. The future will be even better. You have come to the door of the profession at a time of great opportunity. Your passage through the next four years should be approached one day at a time. Learn carefully the lessons of the day without concern for the mass of information yet to come. Each of you is capable of great achievement. We ask that you work toward that end. Be curious, be thorough, and remember that you are learning to work with fellow humans, splendid creatures who deserve the best. 

Sincerely,

D. Craig Brater, MD Dean, Indiana University School of Medicine

 

 

 

 

 

 

Core Values and Guiding Principles

• Mission and Vision
• Professionalism

IUSM Core Values

• Excellence that is reflected in the innovative conduct and advancement of education, research, and patient care.

• Respect for individuals who are affiliated with, or come in contact with, Indiana University School of Medicine: students, residents, fellows, faculty, staff, employees, partners, communities, patients and families.

• Integrity that embraces the very highest standards of ethical behavior and exemplary moral character.

• Diversity that is reflected in actions that appreciate all individuals.

• Cooperation that is manifested by collegial communication and collaboration.

 IUSM Guiding Principles

IUSM is committed to maintaining an academic and clinical environment in which faculty, fellows, residents, students and employees can work together to further education and research and provide the highest level of patient care, whether in the classroom, the laboratory or the clinics. The School's goal is to train men and women to meet the highest standards of professionalism and work in an environment where effective, ethical and compassionate patient care is both expected and provided. To this end, the School recognizes that each member of the medical school community must be accepted as an individual and treated with respect and civility.

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

Diversity in background, outlook and interest is inherent in the practice of medicine, and appreciation and understanding of such diversity is an important aspect of health care and scientific training. As part of that training, the School strives to inculcate values of professional and collegial attitudes and behaviors in interactions among members of the School community and among School members and patients, their families and community members at-large, that accommodate difference, whether in age, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, social, cultural, religious or ethnic values.

Certain behaviors are inherently destructive to any educational or professional relationship. Behaviors such as violence, sexual harassment or inappropriate discrimination based on personal characteristics must never be tolerated. Other behavior can also be inappropriate if the effect interferes with professional development. Behavior patterns such as making demeaning or derogatory remarks, belittling comments and destructive criticism fall into this category. On the behavioral level, abuse may be operationally defined as behavior by medical school faculty, residents, students or employees that is consensually disapproved by society and by the academic community as inappropriate, exploitative or punishing. Examples of such behaviors are physical punishment or physical threats, sexual harassment, discrimination of any type, episodes of psychological punishment (e.g., public humiliation, threats and intimidation, removal of privileges), grading used to punish rather than to evaluate objective performance, assigning tasks for punishment rather than to evaluate objective performance, requiring the performance of personal services, and intentional neglect or intentional lack of communication. Such behaviors are not tolerated at IUSM.

Mission and Vision

Introduction

In May 1999, members of Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) initiated a strategic directions process for the Year 2000 and beyond. Articulated in that process were the IUSM Mission and Vision as follows:

Mission: It is the mission of the Indiana University School of Medicine to advance health in the State of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research, and patient care.

Vision: The Indiana University School of Medicine will be one of the premier medical schools in the nation based on our education, scientific investigation, and health care delivery.

The fulfillment of our mission and vision requires an environment that enables the members of our academic community to be successful. The free and ongoing exchange of ideas is central to all academic communities, and the care and attention to the welfare of others is central to the academic medical community. An environment that incorporates all of these characteristics is grounded in professionalism. Professionalism embodies the attitudes and behaviors consistent with high standards of excellence required in achieving success in one's work.

The purpose of this document is to articulate the Core Values and the Guiding Principles that provide the foundation for a culture of professionalism that direct the daily activities at IUSM. It is our intention that by announcing these Core Values and Guiding Principles, members of IUSM will demonstrate their public commitment to the attitudes and behaviors such values engender.

Professionalism

The Embodiment of Professionalism

The history of medicine and science is replete with calls for professional conduct. Increasing attention is being focused on professionalism as the health care system adapts to a number of societal, scientific and financial stresses. Many professional groups are renewing their emphasis on and measurement of professionalism. The American Board of Internal Medicine², the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education³ and IUSM Curriculum Council with identification of professionalism as one of the nine competencies⁴ are among the groups that have published statements on professionalism. In Academic Medicine, Swick⁵ identifies desirable behaviors to include conduct that demonstrates an individual:

• Subordinates their own interests to the interests of others.
• Adheres to high ethical and moral standards.
• Responds to societal needs, and their behaviors reflect a social contract with the communities served.
• Evinces core humanistic values, including honesty and integrity, caring and compassion, altruism and empathy, respect for others, and trustworthiness.
• Exercises accountability for themselves and for their colleagues.
• Demonstrates a lifelong commitment to excellence.
• Exhibits a commitment to scholarship and to advancing their field.
• Deals with high levels of complexity and uncertainty.
• Reflects upon their actions and decisions.

Swick also states that professionalism must be grounded in what individuals actually do and how they act, both individually and collectively. He asserts that professionalism consists of "those behaviors by which we demonstrate that we are worthy of the trust bestowed upon us by our patients and the public, because we are working for the patients' and the public's good." Members of the IUSM community echo and affirm these principles.

To be recognized as a premiere medical school requires exceptional and committed individuals. A working and learning culture that is based upon our articulated core values and guiding principles is a key element in realizing our mission and vision. Moreover, it is critical to attracting, retaining, and nurturing the members of the IUSM community. For this reason, and to warrant the trust bestowed upon us by patients, families and society at large, all members of the IUSM community are committed to fostering and embodying professionalism as engendered by adherence to our core values and guiding principles.

Ratified by IUSM Faculty Steering Committee 9/01, Student counsel 10/01, Residents Forum, 11/01, and IUSM Executive Committee 11/01.

ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

Medical students are preparing for a career that demands the highest standards of honor, ethics, and professional behavior and appearance. It is expected that medical students will conduct themselves according to these standards. Any individual who enrolls in the Indiana University School of Medicine voluntarily places himself/herself under the rules and regulations of the University, the School, and affiliated hospitals, and agrees to abide by them. Therefore, students should familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations affecting them.

The School of Medicine faculty has established policies and procedures in compliance with the Accreditation Standards of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Policies on professional standards have been adopted by the School of Medicine in place of IU Code of Student Ethics, Parts II, III, and IV. Students should refer to the following resources, available in the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs, for additional information regarding academic and professional standards: School of Medicine Bulletin; IU Code of Student Ethics, Parts I and V (the School of Medicine is exempt from Parts II, III, and IV in accordance with Faculty Council and Board of Trustees action on May 4,
1990); and the Indiana University Academic Handbook. Assessment of student achievement of academic and professional standards is an academic decision; therefore, legal representation for any party is not permitted during faculty  consideration.

POLICY STATEMENT ON MEDICAL STUDENTS AND CARE OF PATIENTS

Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) develops physicians committed to a lifetime of service to the health needs of individuals. Such service demands adherence to the highest standards of professional conduct and behavior. In this context,
1. Faculty, medical students, and graduate medical students have a responsibility to provide care to all assigned patients, regardless of diagnosis.
2. Faculty members have a special responsibility to set an example for the standards of ethical behavior and attitudes related to the practice of medicine.
3. Medical students will be properly trained in Standard Precautions and Transmissions-Based Precautions prior to providing care, under proper supervision, to all assigned patients.
4. Failure to accept such responsibility is contrary to the ethics inherent in the practice of medicine.

IUSM has the responsibility to help address fears and prejudices that faculty, students, and other personnel in the School of Medicine may have. Thus, to carry out this responsibility, IUSM will
1. Provide accurate information to applicants regarding personal risks inherent in the practice of medicine.
2. Provide training in accepted measures to prevent exposure to or transmission of infectious agents in health care settings.
3. Provide additional education and counseling to those individuals apprehensive about participating in educational programs or patient care activities.
4. Provide appropriate equipment to minimize the risk of infection with infectious agents.
5. Ensure that policies exist to monitor adherence to institutional guidelines for prevention and infection control.
6. Ensure that procedures are established in the event of accidental exposure.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

During medical school, certain lessons are experiential and require attendance. Each faculty member has responsibility and authority for matters pertaining to the attendance and classroom/clinic conduct of students. During the clinical years, time off is given at the discretion of the course director and may or may not be granted. Time off from course work in a fourth-year elective for any reason (except national examinations and commencement day) may not exceed three days. Students at Indianapolis should notify the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs, (317) 274-1965, of illness, deaths in the immediate family, or other unusual circumstances that may necessitate extended absence from regularly scheduled classes, laboratory work, or clinical duty. Students at other sites should notify their respective Assistant Deans in the event they are unable to attend classes.

DRESS CODE

Each course/clerkship director has the authority to set the dress code requirement at his/her discretion.

REQUESTING EXAMINATION POSTPONEMENT

Occasionally, circumstances may interfere with students' ability to complete an examination at the scheduled time. Students may request an extension or delay when health or life circumstances would preclude effective performance on an examination. Such circumstances might include death in the immediate family, serious illness, or trauma. Students are required to talk with course directors if they believe circumstances might justify a postponement. The course director will have discretion to reschedule the examination or to deny the student's request.

GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Guidelines for School of Medicine "non-academic requirements" have been delineated by the faculty in "Technical Standards" that all applicants and matriculants at the Indiana University School of Medicine are expected to meet to participate in the medical education program. All students admitted to the Indiana University School of Medicine have signed the Technical Standards. If any student believes that he or she can no longer meet the Technical Standards, a specific protocol for review of requests for accommodations may be obtained from the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs. A student should identify and present verification of a disability to the Dean's Office of the School of Medicine and to the IUPUI Office of Adaptive Educational Services. An ad hoc advisory committee to the Dean will evaluate the student's disability and determine appropriate academic program accommodations. Further testing and verification of the student's disability may be recommended by the advisory committee. Such study and investigation is at the expense of the student. The advisory committee's decision will be sent to the Office of Adaptive Educational Services for information.

In the event that a student questions the decision of the advisory committee, the student may appeal the decision to the Executive Associate Dean for Educational Affairs. The Executive Associate Dean will determine whether further review is warranted.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

Medical students not participating in a combined degree program must complete graduation requirements within six years of matriculation.

The MD degree will be conferred by Indiana University upon persons who have complied with the following requirements as determined by the faculty.
1. Filed satisfactory evidence of having complied with the requirements for admission.
2. Attended eight regular semesters (or equivalent) of medical instruction in four separate years, the last two years (or equivalent) of which must have been spent in the Indiana University School of Medicine.
3. Attended the practical instruction in all departments and satisfactorily completed all competency requirements, course work and examinations. Students must achieve all nine competencies at Levels 1 and 2 and three different competencies at Level 3.
4. Achieved passing scores on the National Board of Medical Examiners USMLE Steps 1 and 2 (CK and CS).
5. Successfully completed the Objectively Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE).
6. Maintained acceptable academic ethics and professional behavior.
7. Paid all fees in full.
8. Completed evaluations of all elective courses completed during fourth year.
9. Returned all materials/school property provided to student.
10. Attended the required Exit Interview for medical student borrowers.

In order to participate in Commencement activities in May, all graduation requirements must be expected to be completed no later than August 31 of that year. Combined degree students will be included in the IUPUI and IUSM Commencement Programs, class composite, and yearbook in the same year in which they expect to complete all requirements for the MD degree.

 

 

UNITED STATES MEDICAL LICENSING EXAMINATION (USMLE)

The following guidelines have been established for the USMLE required by the School of Medicine.
1. All students must take the USMLE Step 1 examination before beginning third-year clinical clerkships. Students must take the USMLE Step 2 CK and Step 2 CS examinations by January 31 of their fourth year.
2. The tests fulfill curricular requirements of the School and, in addition, meet part of the medical licensing requirements of state licensing boards (see Medical Licensure section on page 19).
3. A student who fails to meet national passing levels generally will be permitted to complete the clerkship or elective in which he/she is currently enrolled.
4. The Student Promotions Committee will review the complete academic records of students who fail to meet the national passing levels on these examinations.
5. Neither the National Board of Medical Examiners nor Indiana University School of Medicine will release numeric scores without authorization from the student. Numeric scores will not appear on the official school transcript; however, a note will be made indicating when the student passed the examination.

Current USMLE policies and procedures are provided on the World Wide Web at http://www.nbme.org/index.html.

CHEATING

"Dishonesty of any kind with respect to examinations, course assignments, alteration of records, or illegal possession of examinations shall be considered cheating. It is the responsibility of the student not only to abstain from cheating but, in addition, to avoid the appearance of cheating and to guard against making
it possible for others to cheat. Any student who helps another student to cheat is as guilty of cheating as the student he or she assists. The student also should do everything possible to induce respect for the examining process and for honesty in the performance of assigned tasks in or out of class."
Faculty Council, May 2, 1961; University Faculty Council,
March 11, 1975; Board of Trustees, July 11, 1975

PLAGIARISM

"Honesty requires that any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged. Offering the work of someone else as one's own is plagiarism. The language or ideas thus taken from another may range from isolated formulas, sentences, or paragraphs to entire articles copied from books, periodicals, speeches, or the writings of other students. The offering of materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgment also is considered plagiarism. Any student who fails to give credit for ideas or materials taken from another source is guilty of plagiarism."
Faculty Council, May 2, 1961; University Faculty Council,
March 11, 1975; Board of Trustees, July 11, 1975

WITHDRAWAL, SUSPENSION, DISMISSAL

Withdrawal can be initiated by a student for personal reasons. Requests for withdrawal must be presented in writing to the Associate Dean for Medical Student Affairs.

The faculty reserves the right to recommend the suspension or dismissal of any student whose conduct, health, or academic performance would be judged to render the student unfit for the practice of medicine. Suspension or dismissal must be recommended by the Student Promotions Committee or the Associate Dean for Medical Student Affairs.

An administrative suspension may be instituted by the Associate Dean for Medical Student Affairs when a student is confronted with a personal issue that could interfere with appropriate medical school study. Final approval of a suspension or dismissal is made by the Dean of the School of Medicine.

VACATIONS

First- and second-year vacation schedules vary by Center.
FIRST YEAR
During the first year, Indianapolis students will have a fall break, Thanksgiving break, term break, and spring recess. There is a summer recess between the first and second years of studies.
SECOND YEAR
During the second year, Indianapolis students will have a fall break, Thanksgiving break, term break, and spring recess. There is a summer recess of approximately one month between the second and third years. Normally, students will sit for the USMLE Step 1 during this recess.
THIRD YEAR
A holiday break is scheduled approximately midway through the third year. Third-year students have the option of choosing a one-month break or an elective.
FOURTH YEAR
Students are required to enroll in and pass three months of core clerkships and seven months of electives to satisfy academic requirements for the fourth year. Students may arrange vacation months as desired within these requirements.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

A student wishing to request a leave of absence should discuss this matter with the Associate Dean for Medical Student Affairs. A leave of absence may be granted to enable a student to resolve personal or health problems. A recommendation from the student's physician and/or counselor may be required.

A request for a leave of absence must be presented in writing. Generally, a leave of absence will not be granted to a student who has completed less than one term in good academic standing, nor will a non-medical leave be granted if requested within two weeks of the beginning of final examinations at the end of a semester. The maximum cumulative leave of absence for personal or health problems may not exceed 18 months.

STUDENT PROMOTIONS COMMITTEE

The Student Promotions Committee is appointed by the Dean to monitor student academic and professional standards as determined by the faculty. The Committee reviews student academic performance after each grading period and after each USMLE. The Committee review will determine a student's status as outlined in Sections I through VII. The Dean may also request the Student
Promotions Committee to review any issue pertaining to a student's evaluation and/or performance.  Students in good standing who have satisfactory grades and evaluation reports automatically advance to the next unit of instruction. The Student Promotions Committee recommends action to address the problem for each student not in good standing.
I. Good Standing
A student in good standing has:
A. received a grade of Pass or better in all courses;
B. achieved required competency levels;
C. passed the appropriate national examination;
D. maintained acceptable academic ethics and professional behavior.

II. Academic Probation
A student loses good standing if he/she:
A. fails a course, clerkship, or elective;
B. fails to achieve required competency levels;
C. fails to maintain acceptable academic ethics and professional behavior;
D. fails USMLE Step 1 or 2;
E. is placed on academic probation.

III. Remedial Programs
The Student Promotions Committee will usually require one of the following programs for unacceptable professional behavior/ethics or for a student who receives a failing grade, or fails to achieve appropriate competency levels.
A. Repeat the entire year;
B. Repeat a regular course, clerkship, or elective;
C. Enroll in a special and/or designated course, program, clerkship, or elective;
D. Engage in independent study and/or take a special departmental examination and/or national examination;
E. Suspension from school.

IV. Reinstatement to Good Standing
After the student has completed the required course(s) and/or competency and/or retaken the appropriate national examination, the Student Promotions Committee will again review the academic record of the student who is on academic probation.
A. A student who is placed on academic probation for failing a course will remain on academic probation until such time as he/she has satisfactorily met course requirements.
B. A student who is placed on academic probation for failing to achieve required competency levels will ordinarily remain on academic probation until such time as he/she has satisfactorily completed the required competency.
C. A student who has been placed on academic probation for failing a national examination will be reinstated to good standing upon passing the examination.
D. A student who has been placed on academic probation for failing to maintain acceptable academic ethics and professional behavior will be removed from academic probation after satisfactorily completing the program specified by the Student Promotions Committee.

V. Dismissal
A student may be required to meet with the Student Promotions Committee to show cause why he/she should not be dismissed from school when he/she:
A. fails two basic science courses (one Step in the Northwest Center Curriculum) in the first and/or second year;
B. fails a course, clerkship, or elective while on academic probation;
C. fails two clerkships;
D. fails two electives;
E. fails an elective when he/she has previously failed a clerkship;
F. has been cited for five academic deficiencies, thereby establishing a pattern of marginal performance;
G. fails to achieve required competency levels;
H. has been cited for lack of acceptable academic ethics or professional behavior. This criterion may be used for dismissal if it is determined that failure of the course or clerkship is not adequate action.

The Student Promotions Committee will recommend either dismissal or an action (or actions) from Section III. A decision to recommend academic dismissal will prevent the student from continuing to attend classes unless the Student Promotions Committee determines otherwise.

VI. Reconsideration
A student may request further review by the Student Promotions Committee after receiving the Committee's initial decision. The student's request for reconsideration must be received, in writing, by the Chair of the Student Promotions Committee within 21 calendar days of Committee action. The student's presentation for reconsideration must provide new information not previously communicated to the committee. A Committee decision recommending dismissal is forwarded to the Executive Associate Dean for Education Affairs for review and communication. The Executive Associate Dean’s decision is final and may not be appealed.

VII. Student Appearance Before the Student Promotions Committee
Under circumstances described in Sections V and VI, a student may be required to meet with or may request a meeting before the Student Promotions Committee. Legal representation for any party is not permitted at meetings of the Student Promotions Committee.

STUDENT EVALUATION SYSTEM

Grading

Grade and evaluation reports are made available to each student as soon as practical after the completion of each basic science course and after each clinical rotation. The Indiana University School of Medicine evaluation system is based on Honors, High Pass, Pass, Isolated Deficiency, Incomplete, Withdraw, and Fail.  The assignment and distribution of grades in a particular course will depend on the performance of each individual student in meeting the stated objectives of the course as determined by course faculty. Honors signifies exceptional and superior performance. High Pass signifies above average performance. Pass signifies satisfactory performance. Incomplete signifies that extenuating circumstances have prevented the student from completing the course requirements. The Incomplete must be removed before the student may proceed into the next year of study. Withdrawal signifies that the student withdrew before completing course objectives, and Fail signifies that the student has not performed satisfactorily.  The Isolated Deficiency is used only for the clinical rotations and signifies that a student has performed adequately, except for a particular area of weakness in one of the nine competencies.  The student must complete remedial work in the designated competency to pass the rotation.

Grade Reconsideration

In the event that a student has a question or problem with a course examination or evaluation, the student should discuss the matter with the course director. If the student and the course director cannot resolve the problem, the issue may be taken to the department chair. At a Center for Medical Education, if the student, the course director, and the Center Director cannot resolve the problem, the issue may be taken to the department chair. If the issue is not resolved in the meeting with the chair, either party may appeal the matter to the Academic Standards Committee. Legal representation for any party is not permitted during faculty reconsideration of grades. The Academic Standards Committee will make a recommendation to the Executive Associate Dean for Educational Affairs. The Executive Associate Dean’s decision is final and may not be appealed.

Competency Reconsideration

In the event that a student disputes the validity of an unsatisfactory competency evaluation (including an Isolated Deficiency), he or she should first discuss the matter with the Competency Director who assigned the unsatisfactory evaluation.  In those instances where the competency was evaluated in the context of a specific course or clerkship, the discussion must include the relevant course or clerkship director.  Center students should take their concerns to the local Competency Coordinator, who will consult with the appropriate Competency Director for guidance.  Again, the relevant course director must be involved in the discussion.  If the dispute cannot be resolved, either the student or Competency Director can refer the matter to the Academic Standards Committee.  The Chair of ASC will appoint a special subcommittee to review the case and make a recommendation to the full committee.  Legal representation for any party is not permitted during faculty reconsideration of competencies.  The full committee’s decision to uphold or overturn the unsatisfactory evaluation will be forwarded to the Executive Associate Dean for Educational Affairs. The Executive Associate Dean’s decision is final and may not be appealed.

EVALUATION OF CURRICULUM BY STUDENTS

The Dean's Office for Medical Education and Curricular Affairs provides mechanisms for student evaluation of medical school courses and instructors. Because of the decentralized and diverse nature of the elective portion of the curriculum, student evaluations of all electives are required.

All IUSM students are required to complete demographic surveys and program, course, faculty, and personal performance evaluations at the discretion of IUSM. The data from these surveys and evaluations may be used for research purposes in their aggregate form only. Examples of these data include such things as: location/time of course/program/rotation; supervising faculty and his/her effectiveness; whether objectives were clearly stated; whether there was adequate and effective feedback; identification of the most important sources of learning; understanding competency relevance; and standard demographic data: gender, age, place of birth, proposed area of practice/specialty.

Confidentiality of records identifying the student will be maintained and the student's identity will be held in confidence, including reports in which the results of the study may be published. Students may choose to exclude their data from being used in the aggregate by writing a letter stating their wishes to Debra K. Litzelman, MD, Associate Dean, Office of Medical Education and Curricular Affairs, 714 N. Senate Ave., EF-200, Indianapolis, IN 46202-3297, Attn: Online Evaluations.

NATIONAL RESIDENT MATCHING PROGRAM (NRMP)

The National Resident Matching Program is responsible for administering an orderly and fair method of placement for most first postgraduate year (and, in some instances, later postgraduate years) medical residency positions. Positions in a few specialties (neurology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and urology) are typically filled via specialized matching services outside of the NRMP. Securing a residency position through the NRMP results in a binding contract between the student and the residency program. At the end of the third year, instructions regarding the matching program and residency procurement are provided. Information regarding residency program application procedures is available in the Student Academic Records Office in the Medical Science Building, Room 160. Information received by the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs regarding specific residency programs is kept on file in the Student Resource Room, Medical Science Building, Room 118.

MEDICAL LICENSURE

The licensing process, fees, and granting of reciprocity vary among states. Prior to graduation, students should check with the appropriate state medical licensing board regarding the state process and law. The number for the Indiana State Licensing Board is (317) 232-2960.

UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS

Universal precautions policies protect both students and patients from unnecessary health risks. Students must be aware of the recommendations outlined in the relevant teaching hospital's policies. Certain specific situations require a mandatory visit or telephone consultation with Student Health Services. Such situations include needle sticks or other contaminated injuries, exposure to active cases of tuberculosis, mucous membrane exposure to blood borne pathogens, exposure to enteral varicella, and active enteral infection with salmonella or shigella. A nurse or physician at Student Health Services is available 24 hours a day on pager 12-OUCH (12-6824) to provide information regarding needle sticks and other contaminated injuries. During regular business hours at Student Health Services (7:30 am to 5 pm, M, T, W, F, and 9 am to 5 pm Th), it may be more efficient to report directly to Student Health Services.

The Indiana University School of Medicine has established guidelines for the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in students of the Indiana University School of Medicine. Individuals whose behavior, for any reason, significantly deviates from guidelines at the practice site, thereby placing patients, staff, or colleagues at risk of exposure to HIV infection, may be suspended from participation in the school curriculum pending prompt review by the Dean of the School of Medicine.
The policy allows for serologic testing for all students who wish to know their HIV antibody status. Testing will be done confidentially, and results will be reported only to the individual tested and to any agency required by state and local health codes. This testing is done at the student's expense, and is available at the following locations.

STUDENT RECORDS

The Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs maintains a record, including an academic file, for each student. The file contains admission material, evaluation forms, academic summaries, relevant correspondence, and all other information deemed necessary for the proper documentation of the student's progress through the School.

The maintenance and use of the file are guided by the Indiana University Policy on Student Records and the Family Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974. A student has the right to inspect his/her academic file. Before the file is opened for the student's inspection, it is reviewed and material that the student has previously waived access to is removed. The student wishing to review his/her record must submit a written request to the Director of Student Academic Records and make an appointment for a time to review the file. Any School of Medicine faculty member who has a legitimate need to know may review a student's academic file.

A transcript may be sent from the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs. Requests for transcripts require authorization by the student, on forms provided by the records section (Medical Science Building, Room 160). A fee will be charged for each transcript.

Current student addresses must be filed in the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the records section of the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs (Medical Science Building, Room 124) each time a change in address occurs.

The Dean's Office for Medical Student Academic registers all medical students into the appropriate Indiana University course work for each term of enrollment. Enrollment in courses outside those prescribed in the medical curriculum is permitted only when the student is participating in an approved combined degree program, or has secured the approval of the Associate Dean for Medical Student Affairs. Registration is not complete and enrollment may not occur until the student has paid fees, been released from any Indiana University checklist, and complied with immunization and health insurance requirements. Inquiries regarding registration should be directed to the records section of the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs, Medical Science Building, Room 124, (317) 274-1970.

FEE ASSESSMENT POLICY

Academic Fees

Students are expected to pay the annual rate charged for the academic year regardless of the beginning and ending dates. School of Medicine fees, as approved by the Indiana University Board of Trustees, will be billed by the IUPUI Office of the Bursar and payment will be due on the following (approximate) schedule.
FIRST- AND SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS
One-half annual rate for fall (due in July)
One-half annual rate for spring (due in December)
THIRD- AND FOURTH-YEAR STUDENTS
One-third annual rate for summer (due in April)
One-third annual rate for fall (due in July)
One-third annual rate for spring (due in December)

Late payment of University obligations may result in the assessment of late charges and restriction of certain University services.

Fees for a student not taking all of the standard medical school courses during the academic year will be assessed at the current School of Medicine professional credit-hour rate, not to exceed the full-time annual rate for the number of hours to be taken. Students who are required to repeat any academic work previously attempted will be assessed at the appropriate rate for the repeat work. This may be the full annual rate or the credit-hour rate, depending on the extent of the work repeated.

First- and second-year students participating in an approved combined degree program will be assessed for medical school course work at the School of Medicine's professional credit-hour rate. Regular medical school course work that will also be used to satisfy degree requirements for the student's graduate degree will be assessed at the graduate credit-hour rate if such dual credit is noted on the student's approved plan of study. Graduate course work taken solely to satisfy graduate degree requirements will be assessed at the graduate credit-hour rate.

Other Fees

The University and the School of Medicine assess other, non-academic fees. Fee bills for both fall and spring registrations will each include an assessment for one-half the annual premium for the required health insurance. All Indianapolis-based medical students are assessed a student activity fee and an athletic development fee.

The microscope rental charge (if applicable) will be included with the fee statement. If a student wishes to provide his/her own microscope, the microscope must meet rigid standards and be approved by the Microscope Committee of the School of Medicine. Storage space for personal instruments is not provided in the teaching laboratories.

Students entering the Indiana University School of Medicine are required to own and use computers. To support the use of technology in the curriculum, a computer technology fee is assessed on both the fall and spring bill.

These fees are subject to change based on University administrative action. Enclosures with fee bills for each billing period provide details of the specific arrangements concerning the time, location, and dates for the payment process. For exact academic year rates, contact the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs at (317) 274-1970.

REFUND POLICY

Refunds to first- and second-year students will be made in accordance with the term attendance schedule. Refund dates will be governed by the official starting date of classes for each term based on the following schedule.

FOR WITHDRAWAL DURING:
1st week of classes: 100%
2nd week of classes: 75%
3rd week of classes: 50%
4th week of classes: 25%
5th week of classes and after: No refund

Refunds to third- and fourth-year students will be prorated according to the number of units taken prior to withdrawal. Refunds will be applied toward any outstanding account charges. Remaining credit balances may be refunded to the student.

FINANCIAL SERVICES

Student Financial Services in the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs offers financial aid services that include short-term loans, information on summer employment opportunities between first and second-year, apartment and mortgage letters, and other services related to the student's financial well-being. The office is located in the Medical Science Building, Room 119. Students can contact the office by calling (317) 274-8568 or by e-mailing José Espada at jespada@iupui.edu. Financial aid information, including school and non-school sources of scholarships, can be found on the Dean's Office for Medical Student Affairs Web site: http://msaa.iusm.iu.edu/financialtxt.htm. Free scholarship searches are available on the IUPUI Financial Aid Web site: http://www.iupui.edu/~scentral. Also, information about billing and financial aid status can be found at: http://www.bursar.iupui.edu.

Student Activities

• Medical Student Council
• Class Officers
• IUSM Administration

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Students are encouraged to participate in student organizations and activities, but should be careful not to compromise academic effort and performance. For this reason, students in academic difficulty are discouraged from assuming leadership roles in student government or organizations. In the event that a student who is not in good standing wishes to compete for a leadership position, it is strongly recommended that the student meet with a representative of the Dean’s Office for Medical Student Affairs to discuss his or her candidacy.

Many different student organizations are active on the Indianapolis medical center campus.  Groups that plan to use Indianapolis medical center facilities should contact the Office for Mentoring and Student Development to register with University Student Life and Diversity Programs. Organizations wishing to request funding through Medical Student Council must be represented regularly at Medical Student Council meetings.

A list of student organizations can be found at this site.

Medical Student Council

The purpose of the Medical Student Council (MSC) is to discuss issues of interest to the students of the Indiana University School of Medicine, and to implement constructive courses of action arising from those discussions. The MSC has responsibility for managing the fees paid by Indianapolis-based students and allocated from IUPUI student activities funds.

The Medical Student Council is composed of the class officers from all four medical classes and members of committees or organizations as defined in the MSC Constitution and Bylaws. Two voting members representing the Centers for Medical Education are elected to the MSC. All MSC meetings are open to all medical students. Minutes from all MSC meetings are distributed on the Indiana University School of Medicine listserv and are available on the MSC web page. The MSC functions through class committees as well as through school committees, and represents students in academic and other concerns.

The Medical Student Council office is located in the Daly Student Center, room 188. Messages for officers may be left at (317) 278-2284 or mscstaff@iupui.edu. The MSC web page address is http://www.iupui.edu/~mscstaff/.

Class Officers

Each class elects class officers to conduct its affairs and to represent it in the Medical Student Council.  Elections of officers for the third and fourth years are usually held during the preceding year. First- and second-year class elections are generally held within the first few weeks after the beginning of fall classes to allow students time to become  acquainted. During the period prior to first-year elections, the MSC will assist the first-year class.
