In the March-April cycle, Department of Surgery trainees and faculty were recognized with Supporting a Fair Environment (SAFE) accolades for their professionalism in learning, clinical and professional settings.
In 2021, the School of Medicine established the SAFE initiative, which aims to improve the learning environment among trainees at WashU Medicine by promoting positive behaviors and managing concerns about mistreatment and unprofessional behaviors.
Congratulations to recent Department of Surgery SAFE accolade recipients:
SAFE

Professionalism consists of altruism, compassion, empathy, respect for patients and health care workers, commitment to excellence, honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, accountability, recognition of limits, collaboration, and duty to society. All members of our community are responsible for modeling and pursuing these goals in all facets of our community.
