Updated Ethics E-Learning Module

We're happy to announce that we've re-designed our Ethics E-Learning Module to allow for a much better user experience. 

The content is the same, but this is a great opportunity to run through the module again and brush up on your understanding of your ethical responsibilities. 

The refreshed Ethics Module will teach you about: 

  • Ethics in general
  • The REACH values
  • An ethical decision-making module
  • How to apply ethical values and the decision-making module to determine the most appropriate action in the best interest of patients

Be sure to check it out! There are three chapters that you can complete separately or all at once. If you have any questions about the Ethics Module please reach out to our Practice Advice team at 1-800-583-5885 ext. 241.

What is a Conflict of Interest? 

A conflict of interest arises when a PT’s professional judgment and decision making may be biased as the result of a competing financial interest - this includes perceived, potential or real. 

Examples include things like receiving or giving payment or gift cards for patient referrals. Be sure to have a quick look at the Conflict of Interest Standard. It can’t hurt and it might even help!

Read the Standard

Remember to Protect Your Registration Number

As a PT your registration number is like your fingerprint and can be traced back to you if something goes wrong. But what if your registration number was misused by another physiotherapist, a different regulated health professional or even your boss? 

We occasionally hear from PTs that their registration number has been used by someone else for billing purposes. This can be distressing as the College takes a zero tolerance approach to inappropriate business practices. 

Learn how to best protect your registration number and steps you can take if it has been misused.
