University of Kentucky Health Care Colleges Policy on Educational Exposure to Blood Borne Pathogens

Professionalism is a core value for all health care professionals, and our profession depends on the candid acknowledgment of professionalism lapses.  Please report any observed incidents about UK College of Medicine faculty, staff, residents, or students.  The primary goal is to return any involved individual to being valued and productive members of the UK College of Medicine. The more detail provided, the more likely College of Medicine leadership will be able to reach an appropriate resolution. Every effort will be made to preserve the anonymity of the person reporting, even if that student chooses to identify himself/herself.  College of Medicine leadership will not disclose any identifiable information unless the student gives explicit permission to do so. 

Circumstances involving discrimination or harassment can be referred directly to the University of Kentucky Office of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity, 859-257-8927.
