The RVU PA Program is dedicated to a vibrant, robust, and enriching academic and clinical learning experience for all students. In the event a student feels there are concerns regarding the learning environment or encounters a problem with another student or Program faculty or staff, the student should first communicate with the relevant student, faculty, or staff member in an effort to resolve any and all grievances. Should such communication prove unsuccessful, or should the student feel such communication may impact the student’s success in the Program, the student shall then schedule an in-person meeting with the Program Director (or the Program Director’s immediate supervisor, should the grievance be with the Program Director). The Program Director (or the Program Director’s immediate supervisor) and the student shall formulate a plan that addresses and resolves the student’s concerns. Should this plan prove unsuccessful, the student should then refer to the University section of the RVU Student Handbook and Catalog for policies and procedures regarding processing student grievances.
Additionally, the RVU PA Program is dedicated to a safe learning environment. Students, faculty, staff, preceptors, and patients shall be treated with respect and dignity at all times. The Program expressly prohibits all conduct that interferes with the learning and working environment or otherwise creates a hostile, intimidating, or unsafe situation. Members of the RVU community have the right to remain free from sexual, physical, or mental harassment. If a student feels they have been exposed to a hostile or otherwise offensive situation or environment, the student should refer to the University section of the RVU Student Handbook and Catalog for policies and procedures and immediately contact the Program Director or the University Title IX Coordinator.
