Zero Tolerance

The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine has Zero Tolerance for medical student mistreatment of any kind. Effective learning is best fostered in a positive learning environment of mutual respect between teachers and learners. Each member of the university community should do their part to maintain a positive learning environment.

COM and SCM leadership take feedback about student mistreatment very seriously. You can submit anonymous and/or confidential reports through the link below:
