Policy on Professional Behavior

Students are expected to know, understand, and practice appropriate professional behaviors in all educational settings (classroom, hospital, clinic, fieldwork site). Practice of these behaviors is critical to professional development. Professional behavior will be assessed throughout courses and unprofessional behavior can be the basis for course failure. (For example: continued chronic lateness after a warning; failure to submit material on the due date without prior notification and permission.)

Please refer to our medical school objectives [https://medicine.cuny.edu/bs-md-program] and your course syllabi for expectations on professional behavior.
