Additional Information

Representing the University of Michigan and the School of Dentistry is an honor and a privilege
provided to a select group of individuals. Along with that privilege comes a set of expectations
and responsibilities as a Michigan student.


Through social media, you are being monitored by more individuals than ever before.
Everything you do in these forums should positively represent the University, the School of
Dentistry and your profession. Used responsibly, social media can be a great way to interact
with friends, colleagues, prospective students and the public and promote the School and the
profession of dentistry. Used irresponsibly it can be a quick way to destroy your reputation in
140 characters or less…and to potentially put you at risk for dismissal! This resource provides
some tips and suggestions for using social media responsibly and effectively.


• DO set your security settings so that only your friends can see your account.
• DON'T accept friend or follow requests if you are not sure who they are coming from.
• DO understand that who you have listed as Followers or Friends is a reflection on you.
• DON'T put anything on social media that you would not want your family, your future
employers, those reading the front page of the paper, or the whole world to see.
• DO think before you post, tweet or retweet – “Will this positively reinforce my image and
my reputation”?
• DON’T post patient photos or personal patient information.
• DO remember that sharing patient information is a HIPAA violation and is subject to
sanctions.
• DON'T post offensive language, personal attacks or racial comments.
• DO ask questions if you are not sure what you are doing is ok.
• DON'T post or tweet material presented during a course.
• DO talk to the Director of Communications about how to use social media to your
advantage.
• DON'T post when you are emotional. You are more likely to say something you will
regret.
• DO be familiar with the University’s social media policy (SPG 601.07) and the
consequences for violating it.
• DON'T post anything that could be construed as an endorsement or promotion of a
business product or service, even if the business is owned by a relative or friend.
