Page 3 of 6: Social Media Guidelines for Faculty

Sent on behalf of Dr. Gillian Hawker, Sir John & Lady Eaton Professor and Chair, Department of Medicine

Dear Colleagues,
 
Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionizing the way we communicate, collaborate and learn. As educators, clinicians and researchers, we are no exception to this transformative trend. Many of us have harnessed the power of social media to enrich our teaching, research and professional networking. However, it's crucial to recognize that while social media offers numerous opportunities, it also presents unique challenges and risks, including privacy violations, ethical dilemmas and harassment.
 
As part of our commitment to creating a safe and respectful online environment, I encourage each of you to review and familiarize yourselves with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Social Media Guidelines for Faculty. These guidelines will help to ensure that our online interactions align with our values and standards, while also helping to mitigate potential risks.
 
Thank you for your dedication to the well-being of our academic community, both online and offline.
 
Sincerely,
Dr. Gillian Hawker
