Yammer Usage Policy
- Discussion board postings are a requirement to complete the clerkship’s educational objectives. Weekly posts and responses are due by midnight on the Friday of each week. Please see the clerkship checklist and/or website for specifics on number of posts and topics to post on.
- Make sure to just post to the EM Clerkship group within Yammer to keep the discussion within your peer group and not out in the greater UW community. When you are on Yammer, on the left-hand side of the page there is a heading called “Groups”. Be sure to only post in your specific EM Clerkship group and not “All Company”.
- Patient privacy. Because Yammer can potentially be available publicly, it is important to be mindful of patient privacy concerns. Please do NOT post any identifiable patient information that could compromise patient confidentiality. Specifically, do not post names, addresses, exact age (range is fine—i.e. 20-25yo male), specific date, hospital, full-face photographs or any other details that would allow someone to identify the patient from your post. You can say you saw a 90+yo female patient with fever and shock, and then discuss the details of the treatment for this condition using a literature search. We realize that we ask you to think of a case to help prompt your questioning and answering and encourage you to keep doing so to get the most out of this exercise, but be mindful of patient privacy throughout.
- Posting your literature findings. Please make sure to give a brief summary of what you found in the literature and how that might inform your practice (i.e. don't just attach a paper without pointing out what you found salient). This will help everyone get the most out of the discussion board.
