Ethics and Professionalism

Medical Ethics and Professionalism (ME-15)

Back

Our Medical Ethics and Professionalism (ME-15) one-day course is a condensed version of our intensive two-day ethics course. This course addresses and remediates issues rooted in lack of adherence to laws, rules, guidelines, codes, or policies. Through a comprehensive pre-course, participants become versed in those professional obligations and initiate the process of self-assessment. Participants arrive at the seminar primed to examine their infractions. They will learn how they got to this point and why they are being held to account. At the end of the course, they will develop their Personalized Protection Plan© that elevates accountability in order to prevent recidivism.
