This one day remote course covers ethical considerations for professionals working in the area of Pelvic Health. In general, Health Care Professionals have many day to day ethical considerations to “do no harm.” This includes basic decisions for billing, patient care, safety and compliance. Pelvic Rehabilitation comes with additional layers of vulnerability and ethical challenges due to the anatomical areas being treated, topics being discussed and intimacy of sessions.
The purpose of this class is to explore the ethical challenges Pelvic Health Practitioners may experience including consent, managing trauma and abuse, and preventing misconduct. This course is for any Pelvic Health Professional looking to build skills for ethical evaluation, problem solving, and derivation of solutions.
Prior to the live aspect of this course, participants will be asked to review the ethical framework and definitions via pre-recorded lecture and take Core Values Self Assessment. Live instruction will review the ways in which patients and practitioners can be vulnerable in the pelvic health treatment setting and how to address this. This will be followed by case study discussion in small groups, followed by large group discussion with input from the instructor and an ethics expert/ educator. The remainder of this course is meant to be a guided discussion through the ethical struggles of the pelvic health practitioner.
