Contact Information
It can be challenging and difficult to know who to reach out to when you have been the recipient of unprofessional behaviour, mistreatment, discrimination etc. There are multiple avenues to go in dealing with professionalism concerns:
- Do nothing and let it go
- Approach the person
- Approach a trusted faculty person, supervisor, course coordinator or colleague
- Advocacy and Wellbeing Office
- Office of Professionalism
- Supervising Education Office (i.e.: UGME, PGME, Med Lab Sci, Graduate Studies, Dentistry, dental hygiene, radiation therapy)
- Alberta Health Services (report to the AHS Clinical Lead for your specialty)
- Governing Bodies (CPSA, AB Dentistry College, Dental Hygienists Assoc Alberta, Med Lab Technologists AB, Radiation Technologists AB etc)
People tend to reach via different avenues depending on their comfort and preferences. The Reporter of professionalism concerns has multiple options available for support as per the No Wrong Door policy. We work together in promoting professional behaviours and interactions in our learning environments and workplaces.
