About the Event

There are several core principles that serve as the underpinnings of ethical clinical practice. These outline what we should and should not do, and how we should maintain integrity and clinical competence to benefit those with whom we work. Having a code of ethics helps to guide our work and to define our own limits and boundaries. An ethical code also helps to protect the individuals we serve, the organizations where we work and our own professional liability. Most seasoned clinicians can identify ethical dilemmas they have faced in their clinical practice. This workshop will present decision-making models for managing ethical dilemmas that emerge in clinical practice.

Live Event
This live online event will be held as a Zoom Webinar. Attendees will have the option to interact through features such as the Chat and Q&A, but cameras and microphones will not be enabled.
