Code of Conduct
Principle Society entrusts the physician with vital responsibilities maintenance of health and prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease. In accepting this trust, the medical profession expects its members to act honorably in all endeavors. Practicing physicians, faculty members in academic medical centers, house officers and medical students must adhere to the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. This Code of Conduct (hereafter Code) is intended to promote an atmosphere of confidence and trust among students. The governing philosophy and premise of this Code is that students striving to enter the medical profession are capable of adhering to ethical standards. Every medical student is expected to act with integrity in performing academic work. The guiding principle of academic integrity is that a students work must be the students own. This Code requires that all medical students at The University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix (COM-P) act honorably and honestly in all phases of their academic work. This Code recognizes that students at COM-P will be members of the medical profession and therefore should be governed by rules applicable to physicians. If a student or faculty member has reason to believe that another student has violated this Code, s/he has an obligation to report the incident to the Chairperson of the College of Medicine Phoenixs Honor Code Committee, as set forth below. This Code supplements the standards of conduct established in the Universitys Student Codes of Conduct1 and Academic Integrity2, which are stated in the Arizona Board of Regents Policy Manual 5-308, et seq.; however, the procedures set forth in this Code of Conduct will be the exclusive means by which misconduct will be reported and considered, and sanctions will be imposed at COMP. Prohibited Conduct Conduct prohibited by this Code consists of all forms of academic dishonesty, including, but not limited to: cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, and plagiarism as defined in the University of Arizona Student Code of Conduct 5308(F); modifying any academic work to obtain additional credit in the same class unless approved in advance by the faculty member; failure to observe rules of academic integrity established by a faculty member for a particular course; and attempting to commit an act prohibited by this Code or the University Student Code of Conduct. Any attempt to commit an act prohibited by these rules will be subject 2
Student Handbook 2011-2012 The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix P a g e | 10
to sanctions to the same extent as completed acts. It also is a violation of this Code to intentionally falsely accuse a student of a Code violation, to fail to cooperate with an Honor Code investigation or Student Progress Committee proceeding or hearing, or to make any intentional misrepresentations in the Honor Code process. Student Responsibility Students engaging in academic dishonesty diminish their education and bring discredit to the academic community and to the medical profession. Students will observe this Code whether or not faculty members establish special rules of academic integrity or conduct for particular classes or whether or not faculty make special efforts to prevent cheating in their individual courses. Faculty Responsibility
Faculty members will notify students of any special rules of academic integrity or conduct established for a particular course (e.g., whether or not a faculty member permits collaboration, use of the same paper in more than one class, etc.), and will make every reasonable effort to encourage compliance with the Code. Student Rights
When responding to charges of a Code violation, students have the right to see or hear the evidence against them; to a fair consideration of the charges; and to be assisted by an advisor or attorney of their choosing at their own expense at a formal meeting of the Honor Code Committee. Records of any proceedings before the Honor Code Committee are confidential to the extent required by law. Except as otherwise permitted by law or University policy, neither faculty nor other students participating in proceedings under this Code will disclose personally identifiable information regarding either the student charged with a violation of this Code or other students participating in the proceedings outlined below to anyone other than those individuals directly involved in the proceedings or who have a legitimate educational interest in the information. Under the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, neither students nor faculty who report misconduct under this Code are entitled to information related to the consideration or disposition of any matter pending before or decided by either the Honor Code Committee, the Student Progress Committee or the Student Appeals Committee, unless the student who is the subject of those proceedings agrees in writing to the release of such information.
The University of Arizona is committed to creating and maintaining an environment free of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation that is unlawful or prohibited by University policy. The University prohibits discrimination, including harassment and retaliation, by University employees, students, contractors, or agents of the University and by anyone participating in a University sponsored activity against an individual based on a protected classification.

The University also prohibits retaliation because an individual has engaged in a protected activity. The University will take prompt and appropriate action to: (1) thoroughly investigate complaints under this policy; and (2) prevent, correct and, if necessary, discipline individuals who engage in behavior that violates this policy in accordance with University policies.

Reporting Responsibility
Employees are obligated to report any criminal drug/alcohol statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace. Appointed personnel and classified staff employees should report such information to the University of Arizona Vice President for Human Resources (520-621-1684); students and student employees should report to the UA Main Dean of Students Office (520-621-7060) in Tucson or to the Associate Dean of Students College of Medicine Phoenix (602-827-7824).

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS Criminal Convictions. Students are advised that professional licensing boards in the State of Arizona and elsewhere may refuse to issue a license if an individual has a felony or other conviction on his or her record.

This disclosure must be made whether or not you served a sentence and/or had your civil rights restored, or whether you have had the conviction(s) expunged from your records. Convictions that were overturned on appeal or that resulted in gubernatorial reprieves or pardons need not be disclosed.
Fingerprinting and Background Check. Students also are advised that some hospitals and outpatient clinics require that medical students [and residents], submit to fingerprinting and criminal background checks and receive appropriate clearance before they will be permitted to participate in clinical rotations at those institutions. Students [residents] who do not submit to fingerprinting and/or receive appropriate clearance may be unable to fulfill their academic requirements at the College of Medicine - Phoenix, and therefore may not be able to complete their educational program.
