Policy on Societies Mentors Conflict of Interest and Student Performance Assessment

Societies Program mentors at the College of Medicine – Tucson serve as both educators and mentors, often holding additional leadership roles within the curriculum and administration. To prevent real or perceived conflicts of interest in student assessment, this policy outlines specific restrictions on their involvement in grading and instructional roles. Mentors may not provide summative grades for their own mentees in the Doctor and Patient Course.

Student Disability Insurance Guardian Policy (COM)

The College of Medicine has secured a group disability insurance plan through Guardian for all medical students.

The college assesses a $12.00 fee per semester to your tuition bill (see Bursar's account), which covers your cost of the policy.
