Social Media Policies for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

Digital and social media have profound effects on the way we communicate, and technology has become essential to the way we serve the needs of our patients and communities. The David Geffen School of Medicine (DGSOM) at UCLA encourages the appropriate use of digital and social media as a means of increasing awareness of DGSOM activities, enhancing community relationships, advancing knowledge of education and research and otherwise engaging in work-related communications. It is imperative that DGSOM Workforce members who participate and actively engage online understand their responsibilities when using these tools to communicate.

Below, please find helpful resources for populations across the organization.
