Ang Therapist

Here is news from the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), something certainly more interesting than appetite suppressant.

The new Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics and Ethics Standards (2010), adopted by the Representative Assembly during the April 2010 meeting in Orlando, is now available on the AOTA Web site.

This document integrates three previous ethics documents (the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics (2005), the Guidelines to the Code of Ethics (2006), and the Core Values and Attitudes of Occupational Therapy Practice), making it easier to use and reference.

New language to reflect current ethical issues has also been added, including a new social justice principle (Principle 4, p. 6) to promote the common good and fairness in the allocation of limited health care resources.
