New SOM Policy on Faculty Conduct

Dear Colleagues,

The School of Medicine has adopted a new policy on faculty conduct. The Code of Professional Conduct for Faculty clarifies the standards of conduct and procedures that govern the relationships between the school and members of the community. More specifically, the policy includes important provisions regarding the expected treatment of others, handling of supervisory roles, reporting of sexual and romantic relationships, and acceptance of personal gifts. Please review the policy, which is available online at http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/faculty/policies/facultypolicies/code_of_professional_conduct.html

You may direct questions to the Office of Policy Coordination at policy@jhmi.edu or 410-516-5560.

Thank you for your attention to this important policy.

Sincerely,

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