Students’ and doctoral students’ ombudspersons

Medicinska Föreningen’s students’ and doctoral students’ ombudspersons are independent instances whom you as a student can turn to with questions regarding Karolinska Institutet’s (KI) rules, or as support in conflicts and other situations that can arise during your time at KI. Matters are treated confidentially, it’s always free of charge and available for ALL students, regardless of membership in Medicinska Föreningen.
