Everything we teach is built around the standards your College and professional body actually hold you to, so the learning is never abstract. It is the kind of judgement you use on a real shift, with real patients.

Why it matters

Good ethics is part of everyday care

Every day you make calls that are not only clinical. Do you really have consent? How much do you tell an anxious family? Where is the line with a patient who wants to be a friend? Our courses take the thinking behind those moments and make it practical, using the standards that apply to you here in Canada. There is no heavy theory and no filler here, only clarity you can use on your next shift.

Each course is short, around two hours, and entirely online. Work through it whenever it suits you, answer a few questions at the end, and download your certificate straight away.

Your College

In step with the College that regulates you

In Canada, most health professions answer to a regulatory College in their own province. Wherever you practise, our courses are written to reflect the ethical and professional standards your College sets, so the learning always feels relevant to your real work.

Doctors

Each province has its own College of Physicians and Surgeons, such as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario or of Alberta. Your continuing professional development is tracked through the Royal College's MOC program or the College of Family Physicians of Canada's Mainpro+.

Nurses & Midwives

Nurses and midwives are regulated province by province, for example the College of Nurses of Ontario, with the College of Nurses and Midwives of British Columbia covering both professions in BC. The values you work to are reflected in the Canadian Nurses Association Code of Ethics.

Dentists

Dental professionals answer to a provincial dental College, such as the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario or the College of Dental Surgeons of Alberta, which set the standards of consent, conduct and record-keeping you are held to.

Pharmacists

Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians register with a provincial College, such as the Ontario College of Pharmacists or the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia, working within the national framework set by NAPRA.

Physiotherapists

Physiotherapists are regulated provincially, for example by the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. In British Columbia, since the 2024 reforms, they now fall under the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC.

Optometrists & Opticians

Eye-care professionals answer to provincial Colleges such as the College of Optometrists of Ontario and the College of Opticians of Ontario. In British Columbia, both are now regulated by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC.

Psychologists

Psychologists are regulated provincially, for example by the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario. In British Columbia, they now sit within the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC.

Chiropractors

Chiropractors are regulated by a provincial College, such as the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. In British Columbia, since June 2024, they are regulated by the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC.

Not regulated in Canada

Osteopaths

Manual osteopathy is not yet a regulated profession in Canada, so there is no College. Instead, practitioners are guided by their professional associations. Our course supports those standards and your own commitment to ethical practice.

All Healthcare Professionals

If your profession is not listed, you are almost certainly still regulated by a College in your province. Our general course is built on the ethical principles common to them all, so it works whatever your field.

A note on honesty: we are independent. We are not part of, endorsed by, or accredited by any College. What we do is build our courses around the standards these Colleges publish, so your learning lines up with what is expected of you. Always check your own College's current requirements, as they do change.

They help you understand what happened, reflect on it honestly, and show the insight and growth a panel is looking for, in words they will recognise. You cannot change what brought you here, but you can show how far you have come.

Being straight with you about CPD

Each course gives you a certificate for about two hours of ethics learning. We will not overpromise. We are not accredited by your College or by a national program, and only you can confirm with your College, MOC, or Mainpro+ exactly how to record it.

What we can promise is genuinely useful learning and the paperwork to back it up. We would rather be honest than sell you a claim that does not hold.

Questions by profession

For doctors
It is designed to sit comfortably beside both. You work through the ethics learning, keep your certificate, and record it as self-directed learning once you confirm with the Royal College or the College of Family Physicians how it applies to you.
Many physicians use a course like this exactly that way. If your College has named a specific requirement, share the wording with us first and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit before you pay.
For dentists
Yes. Consent, clear records, and the trust patients place in you sit at the heart of the dental course, with examples drawn from everyday practice rather than theory.
Absolutely. The course suits dentists and the wider dental team, and the bulk discount with code MLT15 makes it easy to enrol several people at once.
For nurses and midwives
Yes. The course builds on the everyday ethical thinking nurses and midwives already use, and helps you put it into words for reflection, appraisal, or a College process.
It gives you focused ethics learning and a certificate you can include in your record. Check with your nursing College on how self-directed learning of this kind is logged, as it varies by province.
For pharmacists
It does. Confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and the quick judgement calls you make at the counter are exactly what the pharmacy course is built around.
Yes. It is written for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians alike, since the ethical questions you face day to day overlap so much.
For all healthcare professionals
If your role is not listed, or you simply want broad ethics learning, the All Healthcare Professionals course is the natural starting point. If in doubt, ask us and we will point you to the right one.
It is well suited to that. You finish with a certificate showing the learning you completed, which is usually what an employer or supervisor is looking for.
For chiropractors
Yes. The chiropractic course works through consent, professional boundaries, and honest communication, including how you present your practice to the public.
It can. The course helps you reflect honestly and show genuine insight, which is what a College wants to see. Choose the option closest to your situation, or ask us.
For osteopaths
For your own growth and your clients' trust. Practising to a clear ethical standard sets you apart, even without a College, and supports the standards your professional association promotes.
Many practitioners find it reassures clients and insurers that they take ethical practice seriously. It is professional development rather than a regulatory requirement.
For physiotherapists
Yes. Consent, boundaries, and documentation around close, hands-on care are central to the physiotherapy course.
You can include the certificate in your record. Confirm with your College how self-directed ethics learning is counted where you practise.
For optometrists and opticians
Yes. The eye-care course covers consent, confidentiality, and conflicts of interest in ways that apply to both optometrists and opticians.
Around two hours, and you can break it up however suits you. Start during a quiet moment and finish whenever you like.
For psychologists
Yes. Confidentiality, consent, and professional boundaries are at the core of the psychology course, with the care these sensitive issues deserve.
It is written for both. The ethical questions psychologists and psychological associates face in practice are very much shared.
