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

What are our Current Initiatives?
Initiatives to promote professional identity development include:
