NSPE's Board of Ethical Review Presents: The Duty to Act
Experience Level: Any level of experience
Members of the Board Ethical Review will present, analyze, and discuss four cases from among the most recently published additions to the BER library. The primary focus is on the duty to act. Cases include the duty to report misconduct, two different situations and perspectives on the appropriate courses of actions when applicable authorities refuse to act, and a cutting edge case involving the tension between duty to one's employer and the duty to dissent.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Participants will be able to recognize misconduct and the duty to report.
2. Participants will be able to recognize when they have a duty to escalate.
3. Participants will be able to evaluate alternative approaches when seeking to balance the tension between duty to the employer/client and the duty to dissent.
