Hi everyone,
I passed all my M1 core courses. However, I recently was failed from my clinical medicine course for professionalism. This occurred because of the following:
I missed 2 non-graded self-reflection forums, and one weekly quiz. For the last self reflection forum, I panicked after I missed the deadline at night, and sent an email to the tech representative associated with the forum the morning after, asking them to reopen the forum and stating I had a tech issue when submitting it.
The course directors did an investigation with the tech company and found I did not access the forum the night before. Called me an unethical liar and an incidence of academic dishonesty, and flunked me from the course.
I admitted I made a mistake and panicked, while stressed before the final exam. At the same time, I feel like the punishment is very severe as this will show on my transcript as P-Remediated and on my MSPE too. I never came late or missed a single mandatory session all year, and was very professional in all in-person sessions. Also have not failed any of the core coursework.
Just wondering if you all think its worth trying to go through the appeal/administrative process and pleaing for a less severe punishment, or if I should take this on the chin and go through with the remediation and having it on my transcript and MSPE.
Any advice would be very appreciated!
