This Florida Laws and Rules and Professional Ethics course provides Florida-licensed osteopathic physicians with practical, applied education on ethical decision-making, professional conduct, and regulatory expectations in modern clinical practice.

Learners will explore common ethical risks arising from electronic health records, telemedicine, digital communication, and evolving practice environments, with an emphasis on defensible clinical reasoning and professional accountability. This course is designed to support high-quality patient care while helping physicians recognize and mitigate ethical issues that may lead to complaints, investigations, or disciplinary action under Florida law.
