Abstract

Medical student promotions committees, also known as “academic progress” or “student performance” committees, act as essential gate-keepers to the medical profession, and make decisions that have enormous impact on students’ lives and careers. However, little is currently known about how to establish fair and ethical committees that both support student development and uphold academic and professional standards. Recommendations are provided to address issues of committee structure and composition, and to provide guidance regarding information sharing, decision-making, and committee member training. The recommendations are supported by specific examples and rationale from five US medical schools in an attempt to help develop a set of best practices across institutions.
