PBI Medical Ethics and Professionalism (ME-22 Extended) Course (Aug 27 - 28, 2022)

PBI Medical Ethics and Professionalism (ME-22 Extended) Course is organized by Professional Boundaries Education.

Description:
Our most comprehensive ethics program, this course is grounded in the premise that everyone has the potential to commit an ethical violation or violate professional expectations. The course addresses and remediates issues rooted in a lack of adherence to laws, rules, guidelines, codes, or policies. Participants arrive at the seminar primed by the pre-course readings, assignments, and self-assessment exercises—springboards for the process of introspection and self-critique. During the course, participants examine how and why their professional practices, responses to stress, and personal or situational factors initially put them at risk for exercising poor judgment or rationalizing improper behavior. Participants' insights drive the composition of their own stratified Personalized Protection Plan©, which they present at the conclusion of the course as their final oral examination to the faculty and class in a peer-review format.

• Comply with standards of practice and codes of ethics
