Report Mistreatment to any Faculty Member or Dean

A student may report their concerns to a faculty member or medical school dean who will either refer the student to the associate dean for student affairs or will make the report themselves if that is the student’s preference. If the faculty member determines that the incident must be reported, they will submit a report even if a student is hesitant to report. Reports are made to the Office of Equity, Equal Opportunity and Title IX as appropriate.

Additionally, students are encouraged to discuss any concerns of incidents of mistreatment or concerns within the learning environment with faculty, coaches, clerkship directors, medical student educators (MSE) or track mentors.  These faculty receive twice yearly emails from the vice dean for medical education that includes the mistreatment policy and procedures. These faculty are a helpful resource if a student has observed or experienced an incident of mistreatment. These faculty can discuss the incident and assist students in accessing the appropriate route for reporting.
