ETHICS SLP#2

The goal of the Session Long Project is to identify and evaluate the ethical principles used in resolving ethical dilemmas, and to apply the principles to specific ethical issues that may have professional, sociological, economic, and legal or political implications.

Tasks for Module 2:

1. Compare and contrast the Codes of Ethics* applicable in your professional practice to that of the Code of Ethics for health educators. What are the similarities? What are possible differences?
