Progression in the LMU-Harrogate PA Program is contingent upon continued mastery of program objectives, course content, competency minimums, and demonstration of professional behaviors consistent with health care professionals. Students matriculating into the LMU-Harrogate PA Program have a maximum of 54 (fifty-four) months to complete all required components of the curriculum, including time for deceleration and leave of absence. Any alterations to the student curriculum must be approved by mechanisms listed in the LMU-Harrogate PA Program Student Handbook.
In order for students to progress from the Didactic Phase to the Clinical Phase, students must receive a passing grade in all didactic courses, successfully pass the Didactic Comprehensive Exam (DCE), satisfy any additional requirements as mandated by the SPC, the Reassessment Committee, and/or faculty mentor, and be recommended for progression by the Director of Didactic Education to the Director of Clinical Education.
