Occupational therapy often involves close physical contact — positioning, dressing assistance, guided movement — work that’s entirely appropriate but can be misread if it isn’t handled with deliberate professionalism. Direct Care Training’s OT CEUs: Avoiding the Appearance of Sexual Impropriety in Patient Care gives OTs the framework to protect patient trust and their own professional standing at the same time.
The course covers professional boundaries and ethical guidelines, then moves into practical skill: recognizing nonverbal cues, safe physical positioning, and navigating sensitive interactions like dressing assistance. It closes with documentation standards, knowing when to involve a witness, and how to respond appropriately if a boundary concern arises.
Michigan AFC CEU-eligible, this course gives OTs a clear, documented standard of practice that protects patients and clinicians alike.
