Complaints/Grievances Policy
Contact the Program Coordinator and/or Program Director to discuss complaints or grievances of any type. If the grievance or complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may elevate the issue to the Department Chair, Dr. Sayeed Ikramuddin. If a grievance cannot be settled at the department level, the program leadership or trainee can appeal to the GME office as explained in GME Policy: Discipline, Dismissal, Failure to Advance. This protocol calls for notice before the action is taken, an opportunity for the fellow to appear and an appeals mechanism.
The institutional policy for Discipline, Dismissal, and Non-Renewal is available at the following address: z.umn.edu/gmeimdisciplineÂ
The program will try to resolve disciplinary problems at the program level if possible, but will not hesitate to refer to the guidelines and procedures outlined in the policies referenced above.
