Faculty Concerns

Academic Medicine is a complex, competitive work environment that can lead to situations that test the boundaries of professionalism. While we pride ourselves on the highest standards of professional behavior our faculty demonstrate, we understand the importance of having mechanisms to report and manage concerns about unprofessional behavior.

OFAPD has a variety of ways for anyone to report concerns about unprofessional behavior by UMSOM faculty. OFAPD addresses these concerns as confidentially as possible, in a manner that is fair, balanced, and respectful.
