This 5-hour ethics program will provide:
important information about how to integrate
emerging neuroscience into clinical practice
in an ethically compliant manner.
We will clarify the ethical responsibilities
of clinicians to remain current with emerging
science in our field based upon guidelines
from the codes of ethics, explore the boundaries
of those responsibilities given the explosion
of information emerging at present, how to
ethically extend evidence-based approaches
using emerging neuroscience, how to use
neuroscience to avoid applying techniques and
approaches not supported by emerging research,
and the ethics of marketing yourself as
a neuroscience-informed clinician.
This is the first program of a series of programs
designed to help master’s level clinicians
advance their knowledge base in the integration
of neuroscience into their practice.
