The Faculty of Medicine Faculty Council has ten Standing Committees. Each Standing Committee is responsible for a detailed examination of issues that fall within its terms of reference. Once governance matters are referred by Faculty Council’s Agenda Committee to the appropriate Standing Committee(s) of Council, the Standing Committee examines the issue in detail, formally reports its findings to Council, and recommends modifications or approval, if appropriate.
The Faculty Council Standing Committees are:
Executive Committee
3 Boards of Examiners – Postgraduate Medical Education, Medical Radiation Sciences Programs, Undergraduate Medical Program (which includes the Physician Assistant Program): The Boards of Examiners review students in academic difficulty to determine the appropriate course of action. The Boards of Examiners review, adjust and approve marks/grades of all students in all courses.
2 Boards of Medical Assessors - Postgraduate Medical Education and Undergraduate Medical Education (which includes the Medical Radiation Sciences Programs, Undergraduate Medical Program, and the Physician Assistant Program): The Boards of Medical Assessors review students who have or are suspected of having a medical condition that is impacting their academic performance. The Boards of Medical Assessors make non-binding recommendations.
Appeals Committee: The Appeals Committee hears appeals from students against the decisions of the Boards of Examiners.
