Medical Ethics as Professional Ethics

Contemporary medical ethics is far from the traditional concept of "In-Sul (benevolent art)" or "Yul-Li (倫, ethics), which emphasizes so much the personality or the character of a doctor. Nowadays, medical ethics should be considered as "professional ethics" which regulates the acts and medical practices of ordinary doctors in their daily practice. The key concepts of the professional ethics are "autonomy", "integrity", and "professional standard" established by medical organizations such as medical societies or associations.

The Current Use of the University-Affiliated Internship Option by Universities/Colleges Approved by the American Music Therapy Association

ABSTRACT: Academic institutions approved by the American Music Therapy Association are charged with the task of providing quality internship experiences for every music therapy student. The American Music Therapy Association's Standards for Education and Clinical Training (AMTA, 2004) offer educators two different options for the selection of internships (i.e., utilizing AMTA's national roster, or establishing university-affiliated programs). The researchers conducted a survey of all AMTA-approved university/college program directors to examine the use of the university-affiliated option. Results indicate that most AMTA-approved institutions are utilizing this option and that most program directors are very satisfied with their universityaffiliated internships. Survey results also demonstrate that procedures for establishing internships and supervising interns vary greatly. Since the establishment of the first music therapy internships, researchers and music therapy organizations have evaluated clinical training programs in order to learn from and to improve training processes and practices. Researchers have investigated the status of education and training in music therapy (Maranto & Bruscia, 1989); emotional stages of an intern (Grant & McCarty, 1990); performance skills, academic knowledge and personal qualities of an intern (Brookins, 1984); and learning outcomes associated with the internship experience (Petrie, 1993). However, little research has been done on the structures and processes associated with internship development and implementation or on educators' satisfaction with their own internship procedures. Early in the development of the music therapy field, O'Morrow (1967) discussed learning issues interns face and made suggestions for supervisors addressing those issues. O'Morrow (1967) stated a clinical training program should be designed to give the student a knowledge of the application of music therapy in the treatment of the patient; an understanding of the causes, development, and treatment of an illness; clinical experience as a participant, under close supervision, in an active treatment program; and a concept of professional ethics and professional responsibility (p. 128). As the profession grew and more university and internship programs were developed, researchers began to gain information on music therapists' perceptions of their internship training. Gault (1978) surveyed 918 Registered Music Therapists (RMTs) to determine perceptions regarding the effectiveness of their clinical experience in preparing them for clinical practice. Sixty percent of respondents considered their internship experience adequate. The respondents, however, expressed a need for more standardization and regulation of clinical training by the former National Association for Music Therapy (NAMT). For example, 67% believed NAMT should provide specific types and amounts of clinical experience for music therapy students prior to internship. In addition, 69% felt NAMT should have a more active role in internship format. Finally, 57% believed NAMT should regulate the percentage of internship time to be spent in actual music therapy practice (p. 38). In an extensive survey of 1064 RMTs, Braswell, Maranto, and Decuir (1979) questioned perceptions regarding the adequacy of education and clinical training. The vast majority of respondents considered their training at least adequate. In another survey, Braswell, Decuir, and Brooks (1985) examined clinical training in facilities approved by NAMT and compliance with NAMT's Guidelines for Establishing and Maintaining Music Therapy Clinical Training Programs. One hundred thirty-four clinical training directors and seventy-five interns were asked detailed questions regarding many aspects of clinical training. The researchers considered their results primarily positive, with the exception of a few instances of non-compliance with NAMT's guidelines. …

Identification of shareholder ethics and responsibilities in online reverse auctions for construction projects.

The increasing number of companies providing internet services and auction tools helped popularize the online reverse auction trend for purchasing commodities and services in the last decade. As a result, a number of owners, both public and private, accepted the online reverse auctions as the bidding technique for their construction projects. Owners, while trying to minimize their costs for construction projects, are also required to address their ethical responsibilities to the shareholders. In the case of online reverse auctions for construction projects, the ethical issues involved in the bidding technique directly reflects on the owner's ethical and social responsibilities to their shareholders. The goal of this paper is to identify the shareholder ethics and responsibilities in online reverse auctions for construction projects by analyzing the ethical issues for the parties involved in the process. The identification of the ethical issues and responsibilities requires clear definition and understanding of professional ethics and the roles of the involved parties. In this paper, first, the concept of professional ethics and social responsibility is described in a general form. To illustrate the ethical issues and responsibilities, a sample case of bidding for a construction project using online reverse auction techniques is presented in which the shareholders were actively involved in questioning the ethical issues. The issues involved in the bidding process and their reflection on the shareholder responsibilities are described and analyzed for each stage of the process. A brief discussion of the overall process is also included to address the general ethical issues involved in online reverse auctions.

Public Obligation and the Ethics System

Concern for the public interest is the essence of professionalism, yet systems of professional ethics are just beginning to emphasize the moral values and altruism that are inherent to that principle. This trend is long overdue, but prevailing ethical standards still contain many detailed rules of professional/business etiquette, which divert emphasis from the public obligation fundamental, and also add an undesirable legalistic dimension. A new concept of professional ethics is proposed, based upon the “Professional Ethic”: “The Engineer shall apply specialized knowledge and skill at all times in the public interest with honesty, integrity and honor.” This declaration is sufficient in itself to support an ethics system offering many advantages in the educational, administrative, and enforcement functions provided by the professional society. The “Professional Ethic” is particularly amenable to enforcement without the legalistic complication and atmosphere that characterize present professional conduct procedures. All items of professional/business etiquette would be detailed in a set of “Rules of Professional Practice.”
