These guidelines apply to faculty members who are not employees of Drexel University College of Medicine. Because non-compensated faculty conduct their clinical practices as separate and independent businesses, the College does not assume responsibility or liability for those activities. Non-compensated faculty members are not permitted to use the College of Medicine's name and logos, seals, insignias and marks (hereafter "marks") in connection with their private professional, clinical and patient care activities. Accordingly, the use of College of Medicine marks is not permitted on the following:

• Prescription pads
• Appointment cards
• Patient handouts

In addition to these marks, College of Medicine faculty titles must only be used in accordance with the Faculty Titles Policy.

Non-compensated faculty members may use the College of Medicine's name and marks in the following ways.

Stationery for Academic Purposes

Stationery with the College's name and/or marks and the faculty member's faculty title may be utilized only in connection with College of Medicine business and the faculty member's assigned College duties. Accordingly, College stationery may not be used for personal communications, including, but not limited to such things as letters to the editor, solicitations for charities, political endorsements or petitions, commercial endorsements or advertisements.

All stationery bearing the name and/or marks of the College must contain the following statement:

"The College of Medicine grants faculty appointments for teaching and research purposes only. This physician's clinical practice is independent of Drexel University."

All College of Medicine stationery must be ordered through SmartSource.

Business Cards

Business cards for non-compensated faculty members use the College of Medicine logo (not the Drexel Medicine logo) and are to be used for academic purposes only, never for patients. They carry the following disclaimer:

"This physician's clinical practice is independent of Drexel University."

All College of Medicine letterhead and business cards must be ordered through SmartSource.

Lab Coats

Faculty members may utilize their faculty title, academic department and an approved College logo on their lab coats. Please contact the Marketing & Communications Department for high-resolution versions of the appropriate logo.

Academic and Scholarly Publications

Non-compensated faculty are welcome to use the College of Medicine's name and logo, when appropriate, in academic and scholarly publications. Non-compensated faculty may not use the "Drexel Medicine" mark or the Drexel Medicine logo.
