The Faculty of Medicine reaffirms its commitment to fostering a professional and respectful working and learning environment. This includes ongoing efforts to monitor and enhance the learning environment through regular communication with hospitals and instructional sites to identify both positive and negative influences on professionalism.

Recognizing that professionalism in healthcare must be both taught and modeled, the Faculty is dedicated to promoting positive role models and addressing unprofessional behaviour, which can undermine education, research, patient care, and the overall learning environment.

To support this commitment, the Faculty provides this reporting form for reporting concerns regarding professional conduct. Reports may be submitted anonymously and are directed to the appropriate office based on the respondent’s role. For example, UGME for medical students, PGME for residents, Vice Dean Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for graduate and undergraduate science programs and Faculty Affairs for faculty members.

Resources such as the Faculty of Medicine's Office of Professionalism and the University of Ottawa's Human Rights Office are available to help individuals assess and address incidents of unprofessional conduct or mistreatment.
