SCoPE: Student Committee on Professionalism and Ethics

SCoPE Committee Members

What is SCoPE?
SCoPE is the Student Committee on Professionalism and Ethics. The committee is comprised of six students from each class MS 2-4, whose purpose is to promote a culture of professionalism and ethics at McGovern Medical School. Follow us on Instagram to learn more about our efforts and our members

Mission of SCoPE
To promote the learning of the practice of medicine beyond medical knowledge to embrace the foundational ideals of physician professionalism and integrity, and to encourage respect and compassion for our future patients, colleagues, and ourselves.

What Does SCoPE Do?
SCoPE has three main objectives:

  1. Weigh in on misconduct cases in the realm of professionalism and ethics.
  2. Act as confidential sounding board for students on issues of ethics and professionalism
  3. Develop student-led initiatives to promote professional identity development

SCoPE recently developed a school-wide definition on professionalism to serve as a common framework for teaching and practicing professionalism at all levels of medical education.
