D2 Class,

It has come to my attention that individuals within your class were recording clinical activities on Mon 25 August 2025. This is a breach of professional conduct. I have not been provided with individual names so I am sending this message to the entire class realizing that you may not all be involved.

Have any of you been to the physician's office or been to any medical clinic and noticed signs indicating that videotaping, photographs or recording is strictly prohibited? Any patient treatment area is a protected space where recording, videotaping and photography is not permitted without strict adherence to clinic protocols and policies.

Within the dental college Main Clinic any type of recording or photography must be authorized by the patient and made to be used for diagnosis, treatment planning or managing of a condition or disease process.

I would ask all of you to review the Clinic Manual 2025-2026 and ensure that you are clear on the policies and procedures that guide your conduct within the clinic.

Being allowed into the clinic is a privilege that can be taken away if you fail to appreciate your professional responsibilities within a health care environment.
