Professional Ethics Course
Course DescriptionProfessional Ethics for Healthcare Professionals in Canada is a comprehensive course designed for doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, dentists, and allied health professionals who want to strengthen their ethical awareness, professionalism, and accountability in practice.
The course draws on ethical guidance from the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Code of Ethics and Professionalism, the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) Standards, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO), and provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons.
It explores key areas of professional ethics including integrity, probity, accountability, respect, boundaries, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and the duty of candour. Case studies, reflective tools, and remediation strategies help professionals apply ethical principles in patient care, collegial relationships, and organisational contexts. The course is particularly valuable for remediation, or professionals undergoing College investigations or fitness to practise processes.
