Why it's important?
Health and wellness disciplines expect practitioners to abide by a code of ethics that affirms the inherent rights of all people to be treated with dignity and respect. As educators of future health and wellness professionals who will serve within diverse communities, we have an institutional responsibility to curate space for students to engage in self-reflexivity on their journey to providing culturally relevant services and care.
