One Neurosurgery Professionalism and Harassment Model Policy
The values of Integrity, Respect, Compassion, Healing, Teamwork, Excellence and Mentorship are core to the profession of neurological surgery and guide our purpose, decisions and work. By conducting our work honestly, ethically and respectfully, we breathe life into these values and into the fabric of our organizations and the profession of neurological surgery. The purpose of this policy is to state clearly that acts constituting harassment will not be tolerated. Furthermore, this policy will result in “harassment-related” complaints or reports being dealt with appropriately.
