CEU Course Description

With health service shortages in many parts of the United States, many practices have more control than ever on which populations they provide services to. While some providers may view this as a good thing for their career direction, it can leave certain populations without important care. For example, cash and concierge services are gaining popularity, which can exclude people with a low socioeconomic status or those who are otherwise underprivileged. OT is traditionally viewed as a field with a large and diverse client base, but certain diagnoses or populations may receive more services, attention, and awareness than others. This course will explore ethical dilemmas that may arise as a result of this and similar scenarios. The Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics is an essential guide for our profession in all areas of occupational therapy and can be used in situations such as these.

CEU Course Objectives

2. Relate the core values to the work a healthcare administrator does.
