This course will familiarize students with basic ethical principles and theories, presenting a six-step guide for ethical decision-making to address various issues. It will also cover the Codes of Conduct for CDMS, CRC, CCM, and Addiction Professionals, focusing on common ethical dilemmas such as conflicts of interest, dual relationships, and confidentiality in these specific areas of practice.
 
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised several ethical questions for healthcare professionals, and some of these issues will be discussed. After a year of managing the pandemic, the challenges faced by medical professionals will also be explored.
