11. Student Responsibility Students are encouraged to seek healthcare from providers who are independent of the NLU PA Program's educational and evaluative structure. Students are not required to disclose personal healthcare information to the Program Director, Medical Director, Associate Medical Director, or Principal Faculty unless disclosure is required by a separate University or Program policy, law, safety requirement, or clinical participation requirement. Students who believe that this policy has been violated may report the concern through established NLU reporting and grievance mechanisms. 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.
