General Surgery Residency On-Line Handbook
Grievance Procedure for Corrective Actions Other Than Termination
- If a Resident/Fellow has a grievance related to his/her training program or has been subject to any corrective action other than termination, the Resident/Fellow should first attempt to resolve the matter informally by consulting with the applicable
Chief Resident, Program Director, and/or Chair/Division Chief.
- If the Resident/Fellow is unable to resolve the matter informally or wishes to grieve a corrective action other than termination, he/she should present his/her grievance in writing to the Associate Dean for GME within ten working days of the date the
matter arose or recommendation for corrective action other than termination was made, whichever is later. The Associate Dean for GME shall notify the Resident/Fellow in writing of his decision regarding the matter, or to uphold or rescind the corrective
action other than termination, within twenty working days of receiving the written grievance, unless extended by the Associate Dean for GME and Resident/Fellow’s mutual agreement.
- Subject to the UTMB Grievance Policy the Associate Dean for GME's shall be the final level of grievance.
