This ethics program will provide you with a structure for ethical decision-making that will serve your clients, yourself, your profession and your community. State licensing boards and professional associations set forth professional codes of ethics to define standards of professional conduct that ensure the highest good for the client in our therapeutic relationships. The first step in practicing ethically is to become aware of these established regulations and to implement them within your professional practice.
Ethics within the health care profession is concerned with the establishment and maintenance of moral relationships between those individuals coming in for treatment, on the one hand, and the professional therapists rendering treatment, on the other. Together our personal and professional codes of ethics form the basis for our standards of ethical decision-making and resulting conduct.

I have taken several ethics courses through the years with top presenters in the field. This course was the MOST educational, concise, helpful, thought-provoking class I have ever had in ethics. Total THUMBS UP! I think it should be used in every massage school curriculum.
Marilyn Dixon, LMT
Excellent presentation. The content was well spaced on the page which made reading easier for me. The content was, on the whole, not new to me; i.e. a review, which account for the short completion time. Clear and concise.
Traci Jennings, LMT
I enjoyed this information. I found it very useful, as well as interesting. A lot of ethics courses I have taken and/or viewed in the past did not hold very much interest. They were not very exiting to study. I thoroughly enjoyed the style of this ethics course.
Susan Sanderson, LMT
I was impressed that this course successfully covered so much: an intro to philosophical thought, & an intro to psychological thought, as well as a spelled-out pragmatic guide. Brava!
Margaret Christy, LMT
The materials are to the point and clearly written. New details in the course were excellent for raising massage to the level/standard of a healing practice rather than previous attitudes of simply a spa / relaxation experience. I'm thankful for the professional approach and suggestions contained within this course.
