Ethics, Jurisprudence and Practice: Current Professional Challenges (3 CE hours)
Healthcare providers have a professional responsibility to their patients, profession, employers, and the public to provide ethical and high-quality care. Physical Therapists face multiple pressures/factors that may cause ethical issues
to arise in the workplace and their practice.
IPTA's Ethics Committee will introduce basic ethical concepts, assist therapists in recognizing ethical concerns, complete ethical analyses, and provide mechanisms for reporting/managing ethical concerns that may arise in practice. This
course also examines various legal authorities which impact the practice of physical therapy in Illinois and fulfills the jurisprudence requirement that is part of the revised ethics continuing education requirement in Illinois.
This course fulfills the 3 hour Ethics, including jurisprudence, requirement for license renewal by the State of Illinois.
