A final role of the DPC will be to serve in tandem with the Flight Path student coaches as a care team around students in an assigned program. The DPC will serve as a secondary support contact for students during high volume time periods (registration, etc.) to answer questions, escalate issues, and triage problems on behalf of the student. They will meet regularly with the overall SCT and will have regular standing meetings with the Flight Path student coaches in their SCT to ensure efficiency of process.
