Behavioral Expectations

Students at NEOMED are expected to maintain the highest level of conduct and professionalism in their actions both in and out of the classroom, as well as in activities associated with the University. 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 student handbook and academic catalog

By joining NEOMED, you become part of a community dedicated to higher learning and excellent service in the medical and pharmacy fields. With this comes the responsibility to be aware of and comply with NEOMED’s policies and procedures, as outlined in the student handbook and academic catalog, known as “Compass.”

Committee on Academic & Professional Progress

Each college at NEOMED has a Committee on Academic & Professional Progress committee that reviews academic performance, intellectual readiness and professionalism concerns. If you’re asked to meet with the committee, it’s usually because there’s a concern in one of these areas.

You can find full details about the process — including when a student might be referred, what outcomes are possible, and how confidentiality and due process are maintained — in the Compass student handbook and academic catalog.

Behavioral Concern Reporting Form

The Behavioral Concern Form lets anyone at NEOMED report student behavior that may be unprofessional or inappropriate. It’s meant to support growth — not to punish — by encouraging reflection and learning. Most reports lead to helpful conversations. If the behavior continues or is more serious, the student may be referred to Student Conduct or the Committee on Academic and Professional Progress (CAPP).
