X. Professionalism Students are expected to maintain high standards of personal and professional integrity and conduct at all times. The ‘Code of Professionalism’ (see appendix D) addresses appropriate and acceptable behavior expected of medical students in their role as healthcare professionals. The document was created as a guide to help invoke appropriate behavior in all areas of professional conduct and outlines the expected student competencies in professionalism. This document also explains the process of submitting reports of praise or concern regarding professional behavior and the mechanism used to investigate any adverse occurance. Other models for professionalism are found in several Health Center and School of Medicine documents including the ‘Student Honor Code’ (see Appendix A) and the ‘Compact Between Faculty and Undergraduate and Graduate Medical Trainees’ (see Appendix C). The University of Connecticut Health Center also has rules of conduct which students are expected to uphold (see Appendix F ). .
Appendix D: University of Connecticut School of Medicine Code of Professionalism Conduct I. Code of Professionalism The Code of Professionalism (“the Code”) is a guide for appropriate and acceptable behavior and a model to uphold the standards of the healthcare professions. While this code cannot fully address every situation that may develop, it shall serve as a model to invoke appropriate behavior in all areas of professional conduct as well as to outline the expected student competencies in professionalism. The codes and policies listed in the Honor Code (Appendix A) provide additional guidance. The concept of medical professionalism is both an acknowledgement of virtuous values expected in one’s role as physician and the implementation of appropriate behavior that embodies these values. These values can be categorized as follows: Integrity: • Display honesty and integrity with patients, families, the healthcare team, community members, faculty, and others • Maintain appropriate professional boundaries and avoid exploitation of patients for any sexual advantage, personal financial gain, or other private purposes • Be able to identify potential conflict of interest arising from the influence of marketing and advertising, as well as financial and organizational arrangements Respect: • Show respect for others, including appropriate grooming, punctuality, courtesy, nonderogatory backroom discussions, inclusiveness, and use of acceptable language and humor • Recognize and be sensitive to culture, race, disabilities, age, and other differences in order to prevent health care discrimination Altruism: • Demonstrate altruism and advocacy by a commitment to promote health care needs of patients and society • Improve quality and access to care and a just distribution of finite resources • Display compassion and empathy in words and deeds when dealing with patients, families, peers, the healthcare team, community members, faculty, and others Duty / Responsibility: • Avoid engaging in patient care responsibilities if emotionally or physically impaired • Complete duties in a timely fashion • Maintain appropriate confidentiality • Accept responsibility for errors and evaluate failures in education and patient care
