A new US study finds most medical school deans surveyed said they were aware of students posting unprofessional content online. However the survey said they would have a quick look and would expel those who showed pictures that they shouldn't.These included photos of drug paraphernalia and violations of patient privacy.

Apparently doctors have been naughty on Facebook one posted identifying patient details on Facebook. Another requested an inappropriate friendship with a patient on the site. Most swore.

Dr. Katherine Chretien of the Washington, DC, VA Medical Center, the study's lead author said that the number of med school students having unprofessional web-pages was higher than expected.

Most deans said their schools didn't yet have policies to help students figure out what's allowed online and what can get them kicked out of medical school.In one case there was a prank with what appears to be a dead body on YouTube.

There's no way to tell whether the cadaver prank is real and it wasn't part of the study, but real or staged, it doesn't reflect well on the medical profession, Chretien said.
