Dear Faculty Member,

I am writing to inform you of the new Teacher-Learner Conduct Policy that was approved by the Advisory Board of the Medical Faculty. As faculty, we share responsibilities not only for teaching, but also for maintaining an atmosphere that promotes and models appropriate behaviors for our students and trainees at all levels. A link to the full document and its descriptions of avenues to pursue should there be a perceived breach in this policy can be found at http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/faculty/policies/facultypolicies/relationships.html. I appreciate your attention to this issue as well is your efforts to disseminate this policy among your colleagues.

Sincerely,

Edward D. Miller, M.D.
Dean of the Medical Faculty
CEO, Johns Hopkins Medicine
