Read Carefully

Create a six-slide, 12-minute presentation briefing a team on a potential ethical dilemma.

Context

In the career for which you are preparing, where will you look for ethical guidance?

  • Employer: contractual obligations, employee handbook, corporate culture.
  • Colleagues: fellow workers, deserving respect, productive relationships.
  • Clients: honest treatment, service with dignity, contractual obligations.
  • Profession: fellow practitioners, counterbalance to employer, code of conduct.
  • Personal: individual commitments, personal responsibility, integrity.

SHOW LESS

All of these overlapping concerns may create conflicted situations. Professional association codes of ethics commonly deal with a number of concerns:

  • Expertise: qualifications for practitioners, continuing education.
  • Research: informed consent, plagiarism, shared publication credit.
  • Privacy: record keeping, protecting confidentiality, public statements.
  • Relationships: harassment, conflicts of interest, workplace behavior.
