UMA Education, Inc. (“UMAE”), inclusive of the operations of Ultimate Medical Academy, Nasium Training, and American Institute, does not discriminate on the basis of sex and expressly prohibits sex discrimination in its programs and activities, including with regard to admissions and employment. UMAE is committed to fostering an environment for both students and team members where Sex Discrimination, including Sex-Based Harassment (both as defined in the Sex Discrimination Prohibited by Title IX policy), is promptly reported. UMAE is also committed to responding promptly and effectively in response to conduct that reasonably may constitute Sex Discrimination, including by offering supportive measures as appropriate, and resolving complaints in a fair and timely manner.

Inquiries about Title IX, including notification of conduct that may reasonably constitute Sex Discrimination, can be directed to UMAE’s Title IX Coordinator, who is ultimately responsible for overseeing UMAE’s compliance with Title IX. The Title IX Coordinator is Sue Edwards (SEdwards@UMAEducation.org or 813-387-6784). The mailing address for the Title IX Coordinator is 9309 N. Florida Ave., Tampa, Florida 33612.

Aside from internal reporting and complaint processes, team members and students may choose to direct inquires to or pursue legal or administrative remedies with the United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (see https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/complaintintro.html).

UMAE’s Sex Discrimination Prohibited by Title IX policy is available in the Team Member Handbook (available on the intranet or through UKG) and online in the student Catalogs (available at https://www.ultimatemedical.edu/student-information/ or https://www.americaninstitute.edu/catalog/).

Notifications of conduct that reasonably could constitute Sex Discrimination are to be directed to the Title IX Coordinator. Likewise, complaints, i.e., requests for UMAE to investigate conduct and make a determination as to whether it constitutes Sex Discrimination in violation of the Sex Discrimination Prohibited by Title IX policy, are to be directed to the Title IX Coordinator.
