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 student peers, 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 any violations.
When submitting a “Kudos” or reporting any “Concerns” about unprofessional behavior or mistreatment, a medical student can choose to file confidentially or anonymously.
LEC Rapid Response Team
Every report submitted to the Kudos and Concerns portal is reviewed by the members of the Learning Environment Committee (LEC) Rapid Response Team and taken seriously. The Team triages all reports of inappropriate behaviors for an initial investigation, then determines the level of offense and the best course of action. This 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 a full investigation.
Have full confidence that reports will be treated seriously, investigated promptly and impartially, and without fear of reprisal or retaliation for making a report. All Kudos and Concerns reports should be written in good faith with a professional, respectful tone. Please refrain from using unprofessional language including threats and demeaning language.
We wholeheartedly believe in creating a culture of recognition and accountability, and your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping and maintaining the positive environment we strive to provide. Thank you for being an active part of our community.
