Professionalism and Integrity

This policy outlines principles and guidelines for the appropriate use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including but not limited to generative AI systems, machine learning platforms, and image recognition software, by medical students. It emphasizes ethical considerations, responsible usage, proper citation of AI tools, and HIPAA compliance in clinical documentation.

AI tools may not be used for writing History and Physicals (H&Ps) in the Doctor & Patient Course.
