Commitment to Professionalism

The Faculty of Medicine provides a rigorous and accredited medical program to ensure that its graduates practise safely and competently as supervised medical interns. On behalf of the community and the medical profession, the Faculty requires its graduates to demonstrate that they are fit to practice.

This means that in addition to technical competence, students must demonstrate professional attitudes and behaviour appropriate to the profession of medicine. This includes a commitment to the idea and the reality that the medical program and medical professionalism are full-time commitments.

To promote professionalism, the Faculty deliberately fosters specific personal and professional attributes in its students. They must also develop insights into their own strengths and weaknesses, and understand the uncertainty which involves the training for, and the practice of medicine.

Students must:

• Abide by the UQ Student Charter
• Abide by the MD program attendance guidelines
• Complete the UQ Academic Integrity Tutorial
• Observe the specific expectations of the Faculty and understand and accept that these expectations are implemented and assessed via the UQ Student Integrity and Misconduct Policy and Guidelines
• Abide by Queensland Health’s clinical placement requirements and code of conduct for health professional students and any equivalent requirements pertaining to other clinical settings, including offshore clinical schools (Ochsner) and private hospital or health facilities.
