The Ombudsperson serves students, faculty, staff and trainees of Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and is independent in structure, function and appearance. Postdocs can use the Ombuds office to discuss issues informally or to request formal assistance in addressing concerns. The Ombudsperson’s role is to listen and help you identify issues, goals and options; you’ll make your own decisions regarding next steps.
OFA
