The Ombudsperson's Office supplements, but does not replace, the existing resources for conflict resolution and fair practice available at the Yale Medical School. The Ombudsperson will discuss, on an individual basis, various options. The Ombudsperson follows no prescribed sequence of steps and does not participate in any formal grievance process. The Ombudsperson's Office is independent of existing administrative or academic structures. Confidentiality is maintained by the Office and no formal written records are kept.
Privacy is respected.
No action is taken without permission except for the very rare situation of a serious crime or where there is imminent risk of serious physical harm, and there appears to be no other option except to act without permission.
