Ethics for Occupational Therapists
Ethics for Occupational Therapists is a 3-hour online continuing education
course that teaches OTs how to handle ethical and moral dilemmas in
practice. Ethical and moral issues pervade our lives, especially in the
healthcare arena. Occupational therapists are frequently confronted with a
variety of ethical and moral dilemmas, and their decisions can have
long-range effects both professionally and personally. Why does one
decision win out over another? What does the decision process involve?
How do these decisions impact those involved? This course will address
these questions from the framework of ethical decision models and the
American Occupational Therapy Association’s Code of Ethics.

Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is a 2-hour online continuing education (CE/CEU) course
that reviews evidenced-based research for identification, management and
prevention of cyberbullying in children, adolescents and adults. Bullies
have moved from the playground and workplace to the online world,
where anonymity can facilitate bullying behavior. Cyberbullying is
intentional, repeated harm to another person using communication
technology. It is not accidental or random. It is targeted to a person with
less perceived power. This may be someone younger, weaker, or less
knowledgeable about technology. Any communication device may be used
to harass or intimidate a victim, such as a cell phone, tablet, or computer.
Any communication platform may host cyberbullying: social media sites
(Facebook, Twitter), applications (Snapchat, AIM), websites (forums or
blogs), and any place where one person can communicate with – or at –
another person electronically. The short and long-term effects of bullying
are considered as significant as neglect or maltreatment as a type of child
abuse. This course will describe specific cyberbullying behaviors, review
theories that attempt to explain why bullying happens, list the damaging
effects that befall its victims, and discuss strategies professionals can use
to prevent or manage identified cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a
fast-growing area of concern and all healthcare professionals should be
equipped to spot the signs and provide support for our patients and
clients, as well as keep up with the technology that drives cyberbullying.

Medical Marijuana
Medical Marijuana is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE) course that
presents a summary of the current literature on the various medical, legal,
educational, occupational, and ethical aspects of marijuana. In spite of the
fact that nearly half of the states in this country have enacted legislation
legalizing marijuana in some fashion, the reality is that neither the
intended “medical” benefits of marijuana nor its known (and as yet
unknown) adverse effects have been adequately examined using
controlled studies. Conclusive literature remains sparse, and opinion
remains divided and contentious.This course will address the major
questions about marijuana that are as yet unanswered by scientific
evidence. What are the known medical uses for marijuana? What is the
legal status of marijuana in state and federal legislation? What are the
interactions with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and
suicidal behavior? Is marijuana addictive? Is marijuana a gateway drug?
What are the adverse consequences of marijuana use? Do state medical
marijuana laws increase the use of marijuana and other drugs? The course
will conclude with a list of implications for healthcare and mental health
practitioners.

of the material and makes for a good read. The course includes numerous
clinical examples, evoking an awareness of the unique bond between
people and their companion animals."- Endorsement by Aubrey H. Fine,
