Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2024–2025 171 • 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. 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.
