Video Introduces Ombuds for the Medical College of Wisconsin

A video posted by the private medical and graduate school in Milwaukee introduces its two Ombuds: Michelle Shasha and Natalie Fleury. The short video gives a good overview of the Ombuds program and it's interesting to hear and see how the ethical tenets are introduced.

Michelle Shasha joined the MCW Ombuds Office in September 2016. She is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at MCW. She gradauted from the University of Illinois-Urbana and her PhD in clinical psychology at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. She also completed postgraduate training at the Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, MA. (YouTube; MCW Ombuds.)

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
