> President's Message
From the President
As
members of the Thomas Jefferson University community, we are
united in our commitment to achieve the University's goals of
quality health care, health professions education and
international health-related research. What the University
accomplishes will be measured not just by the goals we
achieve, but also by the means by which such achievements are
attained. The increasingly complex nature of our activities,
both within our University community and in the interrelated
national and global health care environment, have created the
need for common community standards at Thomas Jefferson
University.
In this regard, the University has established the Thomas
Jefferson University Code of Conduct. Because the actions of
each of us reflect upon the whole, we must rely on the
individual judgment and personal ethical and moral standards
of each member of the Jefferson community in order to maintain
the University's collective standards of honesty and
integrity. The Code of Conduct provides a "common
language" of such standards which we all share. The
principles set forth herein provide the foundation for the
actions we take and the decisions we make in furtherance of
our goals while upholding the laws and regulations and the
standards of ethics in our community and our professions.
Each of us must read the Code of Conduct carefully and
remember to integrate its principles into our daily University
activities. The Code is not a static list of rules, but is a
dynamic document which provides the basic guidance by which we
seek to achieve the highest ethical and professional standards
and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Because the University will be defined by our actions, it is
the personal responsibility of each of us to learn and uphold
our University standards.
Robert L. Barchi, M.D., Ph.D.
President
