FACULTY
We pledge our best effort to ensure a high quality educational
program for our students.
As mentors, we will maintain
high professional standards in our interactions with students, our colleagues,
and staff.
We respect all students
regardless of gender, race, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation;
we will not tolerate anyone who disrespects students because of biased
attitudes or beliefs and will take appropriate actions against such
individuals.
We pledge to be cognizant
when students are having personal or academic problems and seek appropriate
resources to provide help.
In encouraging and nurturing
the intellectual, personal, and professional growth of our students, we
celebrate expressions of professional attitudes and behaviors, as well as
academic achievement.
We do not tolerate any abuse
or exploitation of our students (or faculty).
We encourage any student who
experiences mistreatment or who witnesses mistreatment or unprofessional
behavior to report the facts (preferably in writing) immediately to
appropriate faculty or staff; we treat all such reports as confidential and do
not tolerate reprisals or retaliations of any kind.
STUDENTS
We pledge our utmost effort
to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors required to fulfill
all educational objectives established by the faculty AND our obligations to
patients.
We hold the professional
virtues of honesty, compassion, integrity, fidelity, and dependability as
standards to conduct in a profession.
We respect all faculty
members, staff, and fellow students regardless of gender, race, national
origin, religion, or sexual orientation; we will not tolerate anyone who
disrespects faculty, students, or staff because of biased attitudes or beliefs
and will take appropriate actions against such individuals.
We pledge to conduct
ourselves as professionals, demonstrating respect for faculty, colleagues, and
staff.
In meeting our professional
obligations, we pledge to assist our fellow students in meeting their
professional obligations as well.
