Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2025–2026 175 schools with the stipulation that they would be used only by our students. In addition, it would defeat the purpose of problem-based learning if the learning objectives, study materials, etc. were available to students encountering cases for the first time. Therefore, the use of Facebook or other social media sites by students for any PBL materials is strictly prohibited. All postings for PBL are limited to established practices and tools set by block directors, the Office of Medical Education, and NSU MD IT. • In posting information on social media sites, you may not present yourself as an official representative or spokesperson for NSU or NSU MD, unless authorized to do so by the NSU president or the dean of NSU MD, respectively. • You may not represent yourself as another person, real or fictitious, or otherwise attempt to obscure your identity to circumvent the provisions of this policy. • You must respect limited personal use permissions, when applicable, and may not utilize websites and/or applications in a manner that interferes with your official work and/or academic commitments. That is, do not consume university, hospital, or clinic technology resources for personal use when others need access for patient or business-related matters. Moreover, do not delay completion of assigned clinical responsibilities to engage in social media activities. In addition to the absolute prohibitions listed above, the actions listed below are strongly discouraged. Violations of these suggested guidelines may be considered unprofessional behavior and may be the basis for disciplinary action. Students who fail to adhere to the standards of professionalism or other applicable NSU policies regarding use of IT and social media may be subject to review by the SPAC, which may impose academic consequences. Engaging in the following activities (or similar conduct) by students in the college may result in academic disciplinary action: • display of vulgar language • display of language or photographs that imply disrespect for any individual or group • presentation of personal photographs or photographs of others that may reasonably be interpreted as condoning irresponsible use of alcohol, substance abuse, or sexual promiscuity • posting of potentially inflammatory or unflattering material on another individual’s website or “tagging” another individual in an inflammatory or unflattering demeanor using a blog, social media, or other web service When using social media websites/applications, students are strongly encouraged to use a personal email address, rather than their @nova.edu address, as their primary means of identification. Individuals should also make every effort to present themselves in a mature, responsible, and professional manner. Discourse should be civil and respectful. Please be aware that no privatization measure is perfect and that undesignated persons may still gain access to your social media sites. A site such as YouTube, of course, is completely open to the public. Future employers (residency or fellowship program directors, department chairs, or private practice partners) often review these social media sites when considering potential candidates for employment.
