Policies and Other Important Information
LCME Accreditation Standard on Student Mistreatment MS-32 - A medical education program must define and publicize the standards of conduct for the faculty-student relationship and develop written policies for addressing violations of those standards. Secretariat Comments - A school's compliance with this standard is thoroughly reviewed on all surveys because survey teams and the LCME take the issue of student mistreatment very seriously.
Student Mistreatment Guidelines for Conduct in Teacher/Learner Relationships (Student Handbook http://greenvillemed.sc.edu/StuAff_Handbook.shtml and the Faculty Handbook http://greenvillemed.sc.edu/Faculty_Handbook.shtml) Identifies responsibility of teachers and learners Describes inappropriate and unacceptable behaviors as those which demonstrate disrespect for others or lack of professionalism in interpersonal conduct Retaliation for reporting mistreatment is unacceptable and is not tolerated. The School’s Ombudsman is empowered to receive and investigate reports of mistreatment in a confidential manner, to mediate, and to make recommendations Online form for reporting mistreatment
Reporting Professionalism Concerns or Commendations Can be reported on student evaluation Can be reported directly to the Clerkship Director or Assistant Dean for Clinical Clerkship Education
The Role of the Student Evaluations and Promotion Committee (SEPC) Biomedical and Clinical Science Faculty Makes recommendations to the Dean regarding student’s continued enrollment and/or academic progress Reviews professionalism concerns regularly
