Our shared values

We treat one another with respect regardless of nationality, gender, language, seniority, or background. Disagreement is welcome; disrespect is not. Rigor and kindness are not in tension — they are the same discipline.

For members

—Engage in good faith. Cite sources. Correct yourself in public when you're wrong.
—Protect patient confidentiality. Never share identifiable clinical material.
—Attribute the work of others — including trainees, nurses, and non-authors.

For faculty

—Teach at the level of the learner in front of you, not the level of the room you're most proud of.
—Disclose conflicts of interest, honoraria, and industry relationships.
—Mentor across borders and career stages, not only within your institution.

For researchers

—Pre-register studies where possible. Publish negative results.
—Share data, code, and protocols to the fullest extent permitted by ethics approvals.
—Give credit where a contribution changed the science, whatever the author position.

For students and trainees

—Ask questions freely. There is no naive question in critical care.
—Protect your learning time. Rest is a scientific asset.

For industry partners

—Support science, not marketing. Do not condition support on outcomes.
—Respect the editorial independence of YODA content and faculty.
—Declare all relationships publicly and in every material produced with us.

Enforcement

Reports may be sent in confidence to conduct@yoda.academy. They are reviewed by the Ethics Committee. Consequences range from private warning to permanent exclusion, proportionate to the harm caused.
