• Procedure Available to Medical Students for Filing Reports of Mistreatment and/or Unprofessionalism

Reports of mistreatment or unacceptable behavior are handled confidentially to the extent possible. Unless you report directly to a “confidential employee,” we are obligated to report incidents if the alleged offense falls under the University Policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence and the University deems itself required by law to investigate and take reasonable action, or if the alleged offense falls under the University’s Preventing and Addressing Discrimination and Harassment (PADH) policy, or other offenses that would require reporting based on legal or ethical responsibilities, including those identified in Medical Center Policy 0262.

If you feel unsafe, though, please don’t let this stop you from reporting. 

If you have questions about any of these options, please reach out to the Department of Family Medicine’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategist and Associate Residency Program Director, Sarah Dalrymple, MD.
