Professionalism and Healthcare Ethics for Kinesiologists examines theoretical and applied approaches that guide practitioners, so they deliver services with integrity. The text defines the parameters of professionalism, incorporates major theories of ethics like teleology, deontology, and virtue ethics, scrutinizes personal and professional ethics, as well as codes of ethics. A comprehensive model of ethical decision-making provides a coherent basis for kinesiologists to follow. Three chapters are devoted to professional accountability and governance on topics such as restricted titles, scope of practice, informed consent, sexual abuse, conflict of interest, privacy and confidentiality, mandatory reporting, and more.
In Professionalism and Healthcare Ethics for Kinesiologists, readers will learn about legal aspects and major U.S. and Canadian legislation that are relevant to kinesiology professionals, examine the meaning of misconduct and the nature of professional misconduct, and consider the future of professional kinesiology education and ethics. Numerous kinesiology case study analyses are provided, and 20 additional cases are available for readers to conduct their own ethical analyses.
