10.5.1. General Social Media Guidelines
Be thoughtful how you represent yourself on social networks. The line between private and public, personal and professional typically blur in online social networks. Respect your colleagues and your audience, and keep in mind anything you post has the potential to be seen by future employers.
Recognize that our community is made up of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and represent diverse customs, values and points of view. Express your opinion, be yourself, but be respectful. This includes avoiding the use of obscenities, personal insults, ethnic, religious or racial slurs, sexually harassing or inappropriate commentary, as well as topics that can be considered inflammatory or obscene. If you are unsure, ask for guidance from faculty. Respect the privacy of others, especially other students, faculty, staff, clinical partners, and especially patients. If you disagree with anyone, it is rarely appropriate to air your differences publicly. Use sound judgment in considering anything you put into writing as it will be seen by others.
