UBC provides resources to support student learning and to maintain healthy lifestyles but recognizes that sometimes crises arise and so there are additional resources to access including those for survivors of sexual violence.  UBC values respect for the person and ideas of all members of the academic community. Harassment and discrimination are not tolerated nor is suppression of academic freedom.  UBC provides appropriate accommodation for students with disabilities and for religious observances.  UBC values academic honesty and students are expected to acknowledge the ideas generated by others and to uphold the highest academic standards in all of their actions.

SPPH is committed to providing a positive education experience free from discrimination.  If you have had an experience in this course where you feel unsafe, have been mistreated or have witnessed mistreatment, please let us know.  If you want to raise this beyond the course instructor, the School recommends the following. You may contact your academic supervisor, the education manager for your program or the Associate Director-Education.  You may also report your concerns to the Faculty of medicine Office of Respectful Environments, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) at https://mistreatmenthelp.med.ubc.ca/ .Both SPPH and the REDI Office have procedures in place for recording and acting on reports of mistreatment in the educational environment. 

Acknowledgment: UBC’s Point Grey Campus is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. The land it is situated on has always been a place of learning for the Musqueam people, who for millennia have passed on their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next on this site.
