Counseling And Support Services
Back to Policies and Procedures
Intent:
The sponsoring institution will make available appropriate confidential referrals for counseling and support services.
Policy Statement:
Residents should have available to them a variety of sources to assist them through the stressful period of housestaff training. The Housestaff Affairs Office will assist the program directors and the residents in locating these services.
Description:
Residents who feel the need for counseling should discuss this with the appropriate faculty members, the program director or, if they wish to remain anonymous to the Program, the Office of Housestaff Affairs. Confidentiality will be preserved and is of the highest priority. Referrals through the Office of Housestaff Affairs can be made to individuals within the University and outside the University.
In addition, the Housestaff Member may contact sources of assistance as listed in the Housestaff Pocket Guide.
