NLU PA Program — Didactic Year Handbook
12. Reporting a Concern A student who believes that a Program Director, Medical Director, Associate Medical Director, or Principal Faculty member has participated in providing healthcare outside an emergency situation may report the concern through the University's established reporting process. The NLU Incident Report Form is available at: NLU Incident Report Form The form directs students to use the appropriate NLU process for concerns, including the Issues Resolution Form for complaints and the Academic Appeals Form for academic-related concerns. Reports will be reviewed in accordance with applicable NLU policies and procedures. 13. Consistent Application The policy applies consistently to all enrolled NLU PA students and to all individuals serving as: • Program Director; • Medical Director; • Associate Medical Director; or • Principal Faculty. The prohibition is not dependent upon: • Student academic standing; • Faculty rank; • Length of faculty service; • Student year in the curriculum; • Location of the healthcare encounter; • Clinical specialty; • Whether the provider relationship is paid or unpaid; or • Whether the faculty member and student have an existing personal relationship. The only exception is the provision of necessary emergency assistance as described in this policy. 14. Monitoring and Compliance The PA Program will monitor compliance through: • Faculty orientation; • Faculty policy acknowledgment; • Program leadership orientation; • Student orientation; • Faculty handbook/policy dissemination; • Clinical education orientation; • Incident reporting; • Student concerns and complaints; • Annual policy review; and • Program CQI processes. Any identified violation will be reviewed by the appropriate University and/or Program authority and addressed according to applicable NLU policies.
