Allopathic Medicine Student Handbook

Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2023–2024 80 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 because of age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other legally protected status • 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. Finally, although once-posted information can be removed from the original social media site, exported information cannot be recovered. Any digital exposure can “live on” beyond its removal from the original website or social media service and continue to circulate in other venues. Therefore, think carefully before you post any information that may negatively impact your standing with the university or future employers. Always be respectful, and professional in your actions. Industry Relations Policy NSU MD recognizes the possibility of conflict of interest or apparent conflict of interest in interactions with corporations, representatives of corporations, and other individuals supported by medically related industries. At the same time, NSU MD recognizes that several medically related industries provide appropriate and legitimate support for educational and patient care activities. This policy serves to describe an acceptable learning environment where faculty members, students, and residents are shielded from industry bias. This policy incorporates standards of practice comparable to those adopted by schools nationwide. The Industry Relations Policy is posted on the NSU MD web page as soon as it has received final approval. Please refer to md.nova.edu/student/student-policies.html for the complete Industry Relations Policy. Duty Hours Policy The Duty Hours Policy for NSU MD students while on clinical rotations outlines expectations for student participation in clinical activities while acknowledging the need to balance time for learning, study, and personal wellness.
