Sample answer outline
- Recognize it as a privacy breach and a professionalism issue, so act quickly.
- Talk to your classmate privately and ask them to take it down now. Explain that even "anonymous" images can identify a patient.
- If they refuse, or it has spread, tell the course lead or privacy office. The school may need to act.
- Keep it proportionate: it may be a lapse in judgment, not malice. Suggest a refresher on social media policy.
What makes it work
- Speed and privacy first, then fairness to the classmate.
- Clear escalation if the direct approach fails.
