PMH1801X - Exploring Legal, Ethical, and Professional Aspects of Clinical Practice
Course Description
Throughout this continuing education course, participants will receive clinical practice training, including updates and changes to ethical and legal expectations and mandates. This information will be covered throughout six modules and includes quizzes, concluding with a final exam to test your understanding of the material. Mental health professionals will have an opportunity to explore complex and particularly muddy ethical and legal issues. This will assist you in using your clinical judgment and competencies when deciding on ethical and legal courses of action. This online course is useful for currently licensed professionals and will be taught as an intermediate course as it exceeds the Board of Psychology’s ethics and law requirement and the Board of Behavioral Science’s mandated six-hour ethics and law update requirement.
