Medical School Ombuds

A team of faculty ombuds has been established to assist faculty members in a variety of circumstances. Faculty ombuds can provide confidential assistance in dispute resolution, exploring options, and finding available University resources. Ombuds are not advocates for any individual or group, rather ombuds are advocates for fairness and good solutions.

Please feel free to contact any of the following ombuds:

Gerald D. Abrams, M.D., Pathology, gabrams@umich.edu

Caroline E. Blane, M.D., Radiology, cblane@umich.edu

Thomas E. Carey, M.D., Otolaryngology, careyte@umich.edu

Eva L. Feldman, M.D., Ph.D., Neurology, efeldman@umich.edu

Ken Pienta, M.D., Internal Medicine, kpienta@umich.edu

Michael J. Shea, M.D., Internal Medicine, mshea@umich.edu
