After a thorough pre-flight in accordance with [Flight School] Student Regulations I taxied to Runway 22 via ATC clearance. Once established in my cruise; my passenger door blew out of the aircraft and was lodged between the strut and wing. I [advised ATC] and returned to [departure airport] without further incident.
A student pilot in a C162 reported the loss of the passenger door; which became lodged between the strut and the wing.
