As a healthcare professional, staying informed about ethical and legal responsibilities is not just a requirement, but a crucial aspect of providing the best care for your patients. I instruct a remote course that tackles these difficult issues - my course, Ethical Considerations from a Legal Lens is a comprehensive remote course taking place on November 17, 2024, that will delve into these important topics from the perspective of the pelvic health rehabilitation field.

Why does this topic matter?
Navigating the complex legal and ethical landscape can be challenging for healthcare providers, particularly in specialized areas like pelvic rehabilitation or even more niche subsets within pelvic health. This course is designed to help practitioners gain a deeper understanding of ethical decision-making while helping a provider feel more legal compliance to safeguard the patient’s well-being and the integrity of a provider’s practice.

During this course, you’ll interactively explore key concepts including:

• Patient confidentiality and informed consent in sensitive treatments like pelvic health
• Legal obligations that impact your practice and decision-making process
• Practical case studies to strengthen ethical problem-solving skills
• Strategies to reduce legal risks while delivering high-quality care

Whether you’re a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or another healthcare provider working in pelvic health, this course is an excellent opportunity to sharpen your ethical compass and protect your practice from potential legal pitfalls.

Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for all pelvic health professionals who want to:

• Refresh their understanding of ethical standards
