, Chair, ABP Ethics Committee
| Ethical
Guidelines for Professional Conduct Applicants, Students, Affiliates, and Members of the ABP shall:
|
|
| Sanctions
for Violations of the Ethical Guidelines for Professional
Conduct There are three (3) types of sanctions for Applicants, Students, Affiliates, and Members of the ABP who have been found to have violated the ethical guidelines of this Academy:
The purpose of these sanctions is not necessarily to simply punish those responsible for unethical behavior, but to educate them, and give them an opportunity to make changes before more serious sanctions are levied. This provides a mechanism for identifying well intentioned individuals who err in judgment versus those whose ethics are at odds with those of the Academy. Formal reports of ethics violations, with proper documentation, should be presented to the Ethics Committee within the Board of Directors. The Chair of the Ethics Committee shall investigate complaints regarding potential unethical conduct within the membership and then pass a recommendation along to the Board of Directors for an official vote. No sanctions shall be given before those members involved are provided an opportunity to defend themselves. |
