Student Ombudsperson

In response to some students’ concerns about approaching existing resources (course directors, advisory deans, faculty) when they feel mistreated or have a conflict with another member of the School of Medicine community, students may contact the Office for Institutional Equity. An Ombudsperson position has been created to provide a confidential and anonymous resource to help students in the School of Medicine decide how they want to handle such circumstances, what their options are, and to provide mediation if desired. To contact the Ombudsperson with a concern, email ombudsman@duke.edu or call (919) 668-3326. More information may be found on the Office of the Student Ombudsperson website at medschool.duke.edu/education/health-professions-education-programs/doctor-medicine-md-program/student-experience.
