Mistreatment guidelines for undergraduate and graduate students
The Department of LMP is committed to enabling a positive learning and working environment for everyone in our community.
We support an integrated approach to addressing learner concerns that champions the principles articulated in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine guidelines on managing disclosures of learner mistreatment for medical students and trainees which we have modified for graduate and undergraduate students.
Temerty Medicine has adopted the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) definition for learner mistreatment which refers to intentional or unintentional behaviours that show disrespect for the dignity of others. This may manifest as unprofessional behaviours, discrimination and discriminatory harassment, or sexual violence and sexual harassment. Review and management of disclosures will be informed by the Standards of Professional Values for Clinical (MD) Faculty and the CPSO Professional Responsibilities in Medical Education.
Our education leadership team is available to support you in accessing and understanding the supports and resources available. Our leadership team includes:
Vice Chair of Education, Life Sciences: Michael Ohh
LMP will also monitor trends from learner concerns to identify systems-level interventions that can be addressed to improve the learning and working climate for us all.
The bottom line is that we are here for you, please reach out anytime!
