Behavioral Expectations

In addition, students in professional education are expected to develop and maintain the ethical and moral values consistent with all social behavior, but especially those values that must be an integral part of the working attitude of health care professionals.

The COMPASS outlines details regarding the CAPP procedures, reasons why a student might need to meet with CAPP, all possible outcomes, and the due process and confidentiality that are inherent parts of the processes.

Behavioral Concern Reporting FOrm

The purpose of the Behavioral Concern form is to ensure student growth and development, through their professional development and through their conduct. The form allows any member of the NEOMED community to report allegations of misconduct or unprofessional behavior for further investigation.  Behavioral Concerns may result in discussions that are intended to provide education and growth, not as a punitive tool.  When concerning student conduct behavior is ongoing, unchanged, disruptive or destructive, the student may be referred to Student Conduct which provides for both informal and formal resolution options. When concerning unprofessional behavior occurs and is not remedied, these matters may be reviewed by the Committee on Academic and Professional Progress (CAPP).
