Description

Clinical education processes provide a wealth of opportunities for ethical conflict to occur. Balancing the needs of students and clients, demonstrating impartiality among supervisees, addressing cultural differences, and tensions between what is taught in the classroom and what occurs in clinic are just a few of the common ethical problems faced by clinical educators. Knowing how to apply and make decisions that are in harmony with the ASHA Code of Ethics can be challenging. This session will address ethical principles and applying them to clinical education using guides for ethical decision-making. 

Learning Objectives

• Will be able to describe an ethical decision-making model.

• Will be able to analyze at least one case study using an ethical decision-making model.
