The purpose of the Student Progress Committee (SPC) is to ensure that every graduate of LMU-DCOM has the skills, knowledge, and judgment to assume the responsibilities of an osteopathic doctor. The Committee will monitor student progress and ensure that all students meet the academic and professional requirements necessary for advancement in the curriculum and graduation. The role of the Committee is not to approve all students for promotion into the next academic year, that is the job of the Faculty Assembly. The Committee, appointed by the Dean of LMU-DCOM, is composed of faculty members and the Assistant/Associate Deans of LMU-DCOM (non- voting, ex-officio members).
