Mistreatment Education and Framework
The Expect Respect Committee (ERC) conducts our mistreatment workshops using the Knowledge, Awareness, Prevention, Intervention and Postvention (KAPIP) framework.
KAPIP Framework
Knowledge
The mistreatment knowledge section of the framework provides a thorough overview, including definitions, types, examples (such as these from Nortwestern Unveristy and Brown University), and consequences of mistreatment.
Awareness
The mistreatment awareness section utilizes empirical data from internal and national surveys to highlight trends in mistreatment prevalence and address reasons for underreporting, such as fear of retaliation.
Prevention
In the mistreatment prevention section, we outline relevant policies and strategies for promoting an inclusive and respectful LE.
Intervention
The intervention section of the workshop details the available real-time and deferred reporting platforms and resolution protocols for addressing mistreatment.
Postvention
Finally, the postvention segment emphasizes the resources available to those affected, along with the institution’s strong commitment to confidentiality and the protection of individuals from retaliation.
Peer-To-Peer Mistreatment Awareness and Prevention
The School of Medicine also has a student committee known as the Student Advisory Group for Educational Quality (SAGE), which serves as a liaison between students, faculty and staff. Within this group, a subcommittee focused on the learning environment spearheads student-led initiatives aimed at enhancing peer-to-peer mistreatment awareness and prevention among students.
