The Complete Professional: Navigating Professional Boundaries in Medicine (DR-2)
BackThis preventative risk management course is based on the premise that all clinicians have the potential to commit an ethics or boundary violation. Through interactive content, participants learn how to reduce their own potential for committing a violation and recognize red flags in themselves and others. This course culminates with the development of a Personalized Protection Plan that will assist clinicians in upholding the ethical and professional obligations of their profession.
