Report a Concern or Incident

The School of Nursing has a protocol that guides students toward a succinct communication pathway when encountering issues or concerns in their respective program. 

  • For theory courses, students first communicate with the course faculty. If issues are not resolved, they contact the Program director. 
  • For practicum/clinical/experiential learning courses, students first communicate with the clinical/grading faculty.
  • For the Center for Simulation and Clinical Innovation experiences, students first communicate with the courseโ€™s simulation facilitator.

If a student is unsure or has questions, the advisors will help them communicate their concerns.

Healthcare professionals attend a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) bootcamp training at the University of Michigan-Flint in Flint, Michigan.
