Students may reach out to the Office of Academic and Professional Development (OAPD) with concerns about professionalism in the learning environment. Students are regularly reminded of the link to the OAPD website (https://medicine.yale.edu/faculty/academic-professional-development/professionalism/addressing-concerns) where they can report concerns and learn about OAPD’s review, remediation, and follow-up process.

Students also have access to university resources/initiatives including the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct, Title IX coordinators, SHARE, Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility (OIEA), and discrimination and harassment resource coordinators. If a student reaches out to OAPD about an issue involving sexual discrimination, harassment, or assault, OAPD is required under Title IX to report this to the university Title IX Office/OIEA. For incidents that involve bias or discrimination, OAPD consults the YSM deputy dean for collaborative excellence and/or OIEA.
