"First, Do No Harm"
The foundational principle of the Hippocratic Oath continues to guide healthcare professionals today—but what does it truly mean to practice medicine ethically in the modern world?
The Ethics Module explores this critical question by examining the ethical obligations of doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, nurses, and health coaches. It provides clarity on how to navigate complex scenarios, from managing challenging cases to determining when referrals or interventions are appropriate.
Our training addresses contemporary ethical dilemmas such as social media conduct, virtual consultations, and the evolving landscape of obesity and cancer treatment. By taking this course, you will gain practical insights and strategies for upholding ethical standards while making difficult decisions in your daily practice.
