Professional Values

We believe that within our academic and clinical settings, shared norms, values, and expectations help to describe and support the behaviours expected of us by patients and families, and by society. These norms, values, and expectations are collectively known as our professional values. Our professional values are the commitments we keep to our patients, our colleagues, our learners, and ourselves – even in challenging situations – to contribute to psychologically and culturally safe environments that are necessary for excellent healthcare and education and for our shared wellbeing.  We also believe that while many professional values are timeless, others evolve to become more prominent as a result of necessary societal change.

Social Media Resources and Supports for Faculty Members and Librarians

The University of Toronto’s faculty members increasingly use social media to engage with colleagues, students, and members of the public in real-time, dynamic ways, and to share their research and enhance their teaching. At the heart of the University’s institutional commitments is the belief that freedom of expression is fundamental to the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and understanding. The interaction of different perspectives allows outstanding research, scholarship, teaching, learning, and innovation to thrive.
