Sonography students, while representing Baton Rouge Community College at any clinical agency, must conduct themselves in an ethical, professional, and safe manner. Students are expected to assume responsibility for their actions and will be held accountable for them. Students will abide by BRCC and clinical agency policies during each clinical experience. Failure to adhere to program specific policies related to professional behavior or safe clinical practice may result in the use of the Progressive Discipline Policy outlined in the Sonography Student Handbook. 12.19.12 13
