Ethics in the Treatment of Trauma Survivors

Course Description

This program explores the ethical principles that are important to consider when working with trauma survivors. It presents a foundation for understanding the physiological psycho-emotional and energetic dynamics of trauma from the perspective of neuro-biology and Five-Element Chinese medicine. This foundation serves as a departure point for exploring the critical choices a practitioner must make in order to provide ethical treatment for trauma survivors.

With this awareness, practitioners can make situationally appropriate choices with respect to:

  • Patient consent;
  • Respecting rights and dignity;
  • Clinical transparency;
  • Cultural competency;
  • Non-discrimination;
  • Patient privacy;
  • Appropriate boundaries;
  • Scope of practice and other areas.

What's included?

  • Instructional videos & Powerpoint presentations
  • Course workbook to use as you watch the video
  • Fill in the blank assessment;

Once you finish all of the above, including a passing grade on the quiz, you will be able to download your CEU certificate. If applicable, the NCBAHM will email your PDA certificate once we have notified them that you have completed this course.
