Ethics for Healthcare Professionals is a comprehensive course for doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, psychologists, counsellors, chiropractors, osteopaths, and other regulated practitioners. It provides practical guidance on ethical principles, regulatory expectations, and professional standards that apply across all healthcare fields in Canada.

The course explores autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, confidentiality, honesty, professional boundaries, and conflicts of interest. It also covers consent, truth-telling, disclosure of errors, and reflection. Drawing on national frameworks such as the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) standards, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Code of Ethics, the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) model standards, and equivalent codes from dental, psychology, and allied health regulators, the course unites shared ethical duties across professions.

This course is particularly valuable for healthcare professionals facing a regulatory inquiry, disciplinary process, or fitness to practise review. Participants will gain tools for ethical decision-making, reflection, insight, and remediation — supporting safe practice, public protection, and the restoration of trust in Canadian healthcare.
