*Choose your preferred aLERT submission option:

**Note: If you submit using your UW Net ID, you will receive email updates concerning the status of your submission and can also use the online Learning Environment Feedback Tracker; however, if you use the self-identifying option, you will only receive email updates.

Individual aLERT reports go directly to the Learning Environment (LE) team (the Director of the LE and the LE Program Operations Specialist) and are reviewed by the Incident Response and Oversight Committee (IROC) members listed below:

• Associate Dean of Curriculum
• Associate Dean for Student Affairs
• Assistant Dean for Clinical Curriculum
• Assistant Dean for Student Development
• Assistant Dean for Basic Sciences

Anonymized individual reports go to the responsible party designated by IROC to take action in response—typically, Clerkship Directors and Department Chairs—who may discuss data and comments from this section with their clerkship faculty and residents/fellows, but only after your grade has been submitted (or sooner in very serious cases in which case you will be notified first).

We are required to report to the UW Civil Rights Compliance Office (CRC) potential prohibited conduct involving students as detailed in the ‘Prohibited conduct’ section of the CRC’s Employee Reporting Obligations webpage. In this situation, we will submit to CRC the name of the preceptor, block faculty, or other individual involved, the prohibited behavior reported, and a brief description of the concern, including date, time, and location, if known, but we will withhold your name unless you tell us otherwise.

Additionally, if a student checks the boxes for “been subjected to unwanted sexual advances” or “been asked to exchange sexual favors for grades or other rewards,” then we will share with UW SafeCampus very limited information. We will share only the name of the preceptor, block faculty, or other individual involved, and the mistreatment behavior that was checked; no identifying student information or details of the student’s report will be shared, including names, dates, etc.

We encourage students who experience sex- or gender-based violence, harassment, or discrimination to contact UW SafeCampus (206.685.7233), which may be done anonymously. SafeCampus will provide support and guidance and can connect you with additional resources. Other avenues for reporting mistreatment or bias include the UW Bias Incident Reporting Tool and UW Medicine Bias Reporting Tool. You may also discuss reporting options with the Office of the Ombud.
