Code of Conduct:
All members of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences commit to abiding by the Code of Conduct.
Professionalism:
Academic staff are expected to consistently demonstrate a set of attitudes and behaviours that engender trust and promote respect of learners, colleagues, other healthcare professionals and patients.
Learning Environment:
The learning environment extends from the classroom to the clinic, from the laboratory bench to the hospital bedside, encompassing all aspects of the learner鈥檚 experience in relation to the University, University-affiliated teaching hospitals and Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences recognized training sites.听 Everyone plays a role in ensuring a safe and respectful learning environment, but academic staff have a particular responsibility in this regard. Academic staff teach not only by communicating a formal curriculum, but also through their actions and behaviors. As educators, they serve as role models and leaders, setting the tone of the learning environment. They have a duty to comport themselves according to the highest standards of behavior in their professional and educator roles and to guide learners in developing these same behaviors. They have an important role to play as stewards of the learning environment, recognizing that learners are often the most vulnerable individuals within that environment.
Building a better learning environment
The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences recognizes that the learning environment is not static, but rather evolves and changes in response to a variety of external factors, ranging from how clinical services are delivered, to how research is conducted. The needs of learners also change, in response to evolving societal expectations.听 The Faculty thus encourages all members of the Academic Staff to continuously improve the skills and attitudes needed to maintain and improve the quality of the learning environment. The following educational resources are available to support Academic Staff in this regard:
- Online educational modules
- Faculty Development Workshops
- Teaching and Learning Services (TLS) For Instructors
