Description:

From the summer 2003 "Dreamcatchers" Conference, Creighton University's "Leadership in Ethics Education", the authors have assembled a veritable "who's who" of PT and OT academics to share their insights on contemporary issues in health and rehabilitation ethics. Going beyond the "nuts and bolts" of teaching ethics, they present pedagogical strategies to change how educators think and, consequently, how they teach ethics to the next generation of health professionals.

  • Presents models that are both provocative and practical.
  • Encourages interdisciplinary work across PT and OT in an area where other disciplines will be encouraged to join in future efforts.  
  • Establishes PTs and OTs as a voice in larger ethics initiatives.
