If time has passed since the incident, where can I receive medical care?

Non-urgent medical care can be conducted at a primary care physician’s office or a local urgent care center. Local community resources provide follow up medical care as well.

If I speak to someone about my assault, who needs to know?

If you speak with a PCOM faculty, staff, or employee, they are required to report the information to the Equal Opportunity and Access Manager (Title IX Coordinator).

The information will be kept as private as possible to address needs on a case by case basis. Community resources are confidential and will not result in notification to the College.

What is a "responsible employee"?

The College considers all faculty, staff and employees to be Responsible Employees who are required to promptly report to the Equal Opportunity and Access Manager (Title IX Coordinator) or Compliance Officer any information they receive about sexual harassment in violation of this policy.

Responsible employees who become aware of conduct prohibited by this policy that occurs on a PCOM campus or in an officially College-sponsored program or activity must report it.

Medical care after sexual harassment is important for your overall care. In order to preserve evidence, try not to eat, drink, shower, change clothes or smoke. It is not required to have evidence collected in order to get medical care following an act of sexual harassment.
