Pitt Med's mission is to improve the health and well-being of individuals, communities and populations through cutting-edge research, innovative educational programs in medicine and biomedical science, and leadership in academic medicine. We strive to implement this mission with the highest professional and ethical standards.
We are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and respectful educational environment for all students, trainees, faculty, and staff. Accordingly, each member of the Pitt Med learning community will:
1. Exemplify Pitt Med’s core values of integrity, collaboration, service, justice, and compassion.
2. Serve as a role model by demonstrating high professional and ethical standards in all interactions.
3. Respect all individuals, inclusive of sex, gender identity/expression, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, age, and marital, familial, or veteran status.
4. Protect the safety of the learning environment by reporting and/or responding appropriately to incidents of mistreatment, harassment, and differential or unprofessional treatment.
5. Willingly accept constructive feedback and use this information to improve one’s performance.
