Description:
It is well recognized that a code of ethics can formalize professional behaviors. Rightfully so, audiological societies offer best and ethical practice guidelines only for individuals practicing within the U.S. licensing borders. While ethical and best practices are considered a paramount concern in the profession of Audiology, some confusion can easily arise about ethical practices in delivering humanitarian services outside the auspices of a clinician's licensing or credentialing organization. Yet, the very foundation of every successful humanitarian program should be aimed at providing ethically sound best practices. This eAudiology Web seminar will focus on ethical practices and how cultural issues, documentation and strategic planning are innately intertwined. In addition, some of those important building blocks for planning and carrying out ethical humanitarian programs will be discussed.

Recorded: 3/7/12
