Clinical Ethics refers to the ethical responsibilities carried within clinical care, including competence, consent, confidentiality, boundaries, power, role clarity, continuity, rupture, repair, termination, and accountability.

More authority. There is nothing inherently wrong with that progression. Competence should grow. Experienced practitioners…

  • The Clean Container
