2. continue in the program, or
   1. take a medical leave of absence with intent to complete the program (form available from CAHP Academic & Student Affairs), or
   2. withdraw from the program (form available from CAHP Academic and Student Affairs).
3. The student should provide the program director with written documentation from her physician providing medical advice for any limitations placed upon the student while enrolled in the program.
4. A student may also voluntarily withdraw their declaration of pregnancy in writing at any time.
