Students may not use clinical experiences as content for a vlog, blog, podcast, social-media post, or other public-facing media.

•
•
•
Newsletters;

18. De-Identification Does Not Eliminate Professional Responsibility
Students should not assume that removing a patient's name alone makes information safe to disclose.
