Ethics in Everyday Practice

A free one-hour course on the everyday ethics of clinical work: gifts, small-town overlap, late-night messages, and the decision process that keeps ordinary judgment defensible. Complete the exam and evaluation to see exactly how our courses work.

What the course covers

  1. A defensible decision process in one hour
  2. Three everyday dilemmas, worked end to end
  3. Documenting a boundary decision

After this course you will be able to

  • Apply a structured decision process to a boundary dilemma
  • Distinguish facts, assumptions, and applicable standards before acting
  • Write a consultation note that records reasoning without oversharing

Who this course is for

  • Associates and new licensees building an ethics habit early
  • Anyone facing a gift, boundary, or dual-relationship question this month
