Academic Integrity
As an institution preparing future health care professionals, the highest standards of ethical
behavior are expected of all members of the Institute’s community. As a critical component of
this commitment, the Institute expects all faculty and students to adhere strictly to standards of
academic and professional integrity. These are expressed through practices of intellectual
honesty. Students have the obligation and responsibility to understand what is acceptable and
not acceptable conduct relative to academic integrity. If there are questions about these
standards, students should refer to the full policy on Academic Integrity in the IHP Catalog
(http://mghihp.smartcatalogiq.com/en/2015-2016/Catalog/Student-Handbook/Student-Rightsand-Responsibilities/Academic-Integrity) or discuss the matter with the appropriate faculty
member or advisor.
Commitment to Diversity and Cultural Competence
Diversity at the MGH Institute encompasses an inclusive and welcoming environment that is
enhanced by persons who differ in gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, socio-economic
background, ability, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression, and religious belief.
This expression of our commitment to diversity is reflected in a community that is bound by the
desire for equal consideration for all people.
The growing cultural and linguistic diversity of the U.S. and world's populations calls for health
professionals who strive continually to achieve cultural competence and are able to function
effectively across an array of multicultural interpersonal and social situations. Becoming
culturally competent enhances the capacity of health professionals and health care
organizations to assess, plan, deliver, evaluate and continually improve care that is sensitive to
and respectful of the diverse beliefs, values, practices, and needs of the individuals, families,
and communities served.

website: http://www.mghihp.edu/current-students/student-life/diversity/commitment-todiversity-cultural-competence.aspx
