Description of CME Course
The Professional Boundaries course addresses concerning or unprofessional conduct that is relationship-based. From dual relationships to inappropriate communication channels to misconduct or harassment, this course addresses both sexual and non-sexual boundary crossings.
Appropriate for all healthcare professionals, this course is facilitated in an interactive, small-group format, allowing the course faculty to address specific misconduct and provide individualized feedback. In the course, our expert faculty lead participants in examining how and why their professional practices, responses to stress, and personal or situational factors initially put them at risk for exercising poor judgment or rationalizing improper behavior. The course culminates in the participant’s development and oral presentation of their Personalized Protection Plan©, a personalized, concrete action plan outlining the steps and changes they will make to avoid future wrongdoing, safeguard patients and colleagues, and honor the reputation of their profession moving forward.
Participants arrive at the seminar primed by pre-course readings, assignments, and self-assessment exercises—springboards for the process of introspection and self-critique.
