Student Agreements and Release

Student Agreements

All medical students must abide by the academic standards, policies, and procedures as outlined in the MD Handbook. This includes that students agree to follow the Honor Code and Conduct Code as a member of EUSOM. All medical students must comply with the rules and regulations of the University and SOM as published in official publications and as amended or revised during the student's continued enrollment.

Students must agree to use the systems and software required by the School of Medicine for testing, evaluation, and communication.

Students must also agree to be photographed and recorded. Many of the clinical and professional skills assessments require that faculty and students view recordings of their assessments together.

Student Releases

Students must release certain information, including specific protected health information (PHI), to Emory School of Medicine and allow the School of Medicine to provide this information to Emory facilities and to any outside institution that requests verification of immunization status prior to participation in any required, elective, or voluntary clinical experience related to medical training at Emory School of Medicine.

Students must allow the Emory School of Medicine to release information to other departments of the University, such as Student Health Services and the Office of Financial Aid, in order to verify or certify services, scholarship eligibility, or other items necessary for the continuation of enrollment and to meet all state and federal health and safety requirements.

Because passing USMLE licensing exams is a requirement for promotion and graduation from EUSOM, students must agree to release their USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge exam results to the Emory School of Medicine.

If a student should refuse to provide or revoke any of these agreements or releases, the student should understand that such action might affect the student's ability to meet the requirements for the degree and eligibility to graduate and participate in the national residency match.

These agreements and releases must be provided by the student upon matriculation and will remain in effect throughout the student's enrollment or until such time as agreement is revoked, in writing, by the student.
