In the BCHS curricula, students have opportunities to effectively leverage AI systems while developing a solid grounding in fundamental healthcare knowledge, critical thinking abilities, and strong ethics. AI literacy includes understanding AI's strengths, limitations, underlying principles, and responsible development and usage.
- All students at Bryan College of Health Sciences must adhere to the Bryan Health Acceptable Use Agreement for Information Technology Resources, which is provided to students each semester.
- Faculty and instructor expectations will vary from course to course. Students are responsible for being aware of individual instructor’s expectations regarding the use of AI tools. If it is unclear whether AI tools are allowed in a particular course or for an assignment, students should seek clarification from instructors directly. Use of AI tools that does not align with instructor expectations as stated within the course will be considered an academic integrity violation. If permitted to use generative AI tools, students are required to disclose their use and provide an appropriate citation for the tool. Cite all AI-generated content appropriately.
- Students should be aware that entering queries or text into generative AI tools can expose information publicly online. Students must treat what is entered in generative AI tools as if posting on a public forum. Course materials provided by faculty are considered their intellectual property and therefore should not be entered into external generative AI tools without faculty consent.
- Generative AI tools may fabricate facts, create fake citations, or introduce bias into their output. Students are ultimately accountable for their academic work, including any work produced through the use of AI.
- Maintain academic integrity. Misuse of generative AI will be subject to the same policies and procedures as other academic misconduct.
- Students are required to follow the AI policies established by clinical partners when engaging with those institutions.
