Academic Honesty: EWCNM recognizes the value of academic honesty and requires all students to abide by the code of conduct and professional ethics. Students are expected to be honest in all areas of their academic life. Cheating, plagiarism, violation of test conditions, complicity in dishonest behavior, or other falsification of academic work is a serious breach of college expectations and is subject to immediate disciplinary action. A student guilty of academic dishonesty will receive an “F” in any course in which the work was involved. Additionally, depending upon the nature of the case and the severity of the infraction, the student will receive a penalty ranging from probation to expulsion from the college. The official actions of the college may be either academic in nature or both academic and disciplinary.

Plagiarism: Plagiarism is any attempt to represent the work of others as your own. It includes the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. Copyright laws protect writers' words as their legal property. To avoid the charge of plagiarism, students must take care to credit those from whom they borrow and quote. Students are responsible for accurately citing any sources used in the research and writing of all assignments. This includes all formats of materials, print and electronic.

Dress Code and Professional Demeanor: Students are expected to wear scrubs during both class and clinic, and to maintain health, personal hygiene and cleanliness. Handwashing before and after contact with each peer/patient is required. Hand sanitizer is NOT a substitute for proper hand washing! Clothing and shoes worn while functioning as a medical student should reflect professional status, provide for mechanical safety of the student and patients, allow for full performance of all duties, and provide for easy identification of the student to patients and supervisors and staff. During class, different areas of the body may be exposed and all students are expected to maintain a "hands off" policy anywhere the bathing suit touches for men and women. This includes the gluteal region and permission must be obtained before treating this area. Proper draping techniques will be
