Courses that explore ethics in occupational therapy

One of our values at OT Potential is to “do justice” and help create a world that is more equitable and humane. That’s why it’s so important to us to offer courses that help you develop your understanding of ethics in occupational therapy.

Our podcast-based courses are based on the most influential OT journal articles from the past 5 years. And, ethics comes up often, as some of our profession’s brightest minds are focused on advancing alignment in our values. 

Here are our 5 ethics courses, under the AOTA Code of Ethics core value that they do a deep dive into:

  1. Altruism 
  2. Equality
  1. Freedom
  2. Justice
  1. Dignity
