Professional Ethics in Athletic TrainingEdición 2

A comprehensive textbook for athletic training students, educators, and practitioners, Professional Ethics in Athletic Training: Practicing and Leading With Integrity, Second Edition provides a framework for understanding and applying ethical principles across the career span of an athletic training professional.

Esteemed authors Gretchen A. Schlabach and Kimberly S. Peer explain the necessity of practicing and leading with integrity across one’s athletic training career. The text explores issues related to cultural competence and professional behavior as well as ethical leadership and decision-making skills that both inform and transcend the athletic training profession.

Each chapter is accompanied by frameworks that lead to both analysis and awareness of legal statutes, ethical principles, regulatory practice acts, and professional practice standards that encourage responsible reasoning and conduct. Contemporary journal articles can also be found in every chapter to help readers make connections between content and clinical practice. The text also includes assessment tools, sample models for ethical decision making, writing about moral issues, and sample course design and delivery for teaching ethics.

Included in the instructor’s materials are nearly 50 cases to promote critical thinking as well as learning activities for each chapter. Included with the text are online supplemental materials for faculty use in the classroom.

Covering all levels of ethical practice—from the entry-level student to the experienced athletic trainer—Professional Ethics in Athletic Training synthesizes and integrates ethical theory and practical application for those who practice and lead with integrity.
