By adding a spiritual foundation to the profession's ethical framework, it is anticipated that the professional's ethic will be a more completely informed ethic, one which not only reflects a proper concern for our fellow human beings, but one which also reflects an intimate relationship with our Creator and God. These principles, as written, contain specific admonitions which are limited in number but are more comprehensive in principle. Thus, the relationship of trust between health-related professional and patient can develop so as to benefit both the profession and the public. This is a goal Loma Linda University feels it must meet as it seeks to train its students to become competent in all aspects of patient care. Students must strive to conduct themselves at all times in a manner representative of their profession and school.
Students share responsibility for maintaining an environment conducive to learning.
Any activity which interferes with the learning processes vital to the practice of the chosen profession or which violates the integrity of the profession as a whole is not acceptable. Respect for oneself, patients, peers, and for the institution must be preserved at all times. The following list is illustrative of the type of conduct which violates the University's expectation for student conduct and is cause for discipline up to and including dismissal. It is not an exhaustive or all-inclusive list, but is stated here for purposes of illustration. Refusal or failure to remediate documented unsatisfactory performance.
