Kudos/Concerns Medical Student Portal
The Kudos/Concerns medical student portal is a mechanism through which both highly desirable behavior as well as concerning behavior on the part of students, residents, fellows, faculty, and staff can be reported by the students of the College of Medicine. The reporting of positive and negative experiences contributes to building a more positive and inclusive learning culture and a kinder, safer health care environment. The Kudos/Concerns medical student portal will help monitor our learning environment to enhance positive and mitigate negative influences on professionalism and correct professionalism violations.
When submitting a professionalism “Kudos” or reporting any “Concerns”- unprofessional behavior or mistreatment, a medical student can choose to file confidentially or anonymously.
Kudos and Concerns Rapid Response Team
Every report submitted to the Kudos and Concerns portal is reviewed by the members of the Kudos and Concerns Rapid Response and taken seriously. Rapid Response Team of the Learning Environment Committee triages all reports of inappropriate behaviors in the Kudos and Concerns student portal for an initial investigation.
The Rapid Response team determines the level of offense and the best course of action, which may include notifying the Student Affairs deans, Course or Clerkship Directors, hospital administration and relevant faculty. Most concerns are resolved promptly, while others are more serious in nature and require further investigation.
When submitting a complaint of student mistreatment, complainants should consider providing their name and contact information. Anonymous complaints will be logged and investigated to the extent possible, however, without the ability to obtain additional information from the complainant/reporter, it is difficult to process such investigations.
All Kudos and Concerns reports are reviewed by the Learning Environment Committee
