Students may not post patient stories, clinical experiences, photographs, screenshots, recordings, comments, or descriptions that could identify a patient, clinical site, preceptor, staff member, or other protected individual.
A social-media account being private does not eliminate the student's confidentiality obligation.
12. Photography and Patient Images
Students may not photograph, screenshot, record, or otherwise capture patient information or images using personal devices.
This includes:
Cell phones;
•
Tablets;
•
Smart watches;
•
Cameras;
•
Personal computers; Wearable devices; and Other recording devices.
•
•
•
Clinical photographs may be taken only when specifically authorized by the clinical institution and Program, when required for an approved educational purpose, and in accordance with applicable consent, privacy, security, and institutional requirements.
A patient's consent alone does not automatically authorize a student to use a personal device or post the image publicly.
