While individual organizations and professions often have their own codes of conduct, this course will broadly discuss the importance of ethical behavior and maintaining professional boundaries in the workplace. Utilizing discussion and case studies, participants will learn about professional conduct, setting limits and maintaining ethical boundaries, recognizing ethical situations as they arise, ethical decision-making, and preventing boundary violations.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop a shared definition of ethics and professional boundaries.
• Learn to recognize ethical challenges. 
• Feel prepared to utilize an ethical decision-making process.
