I think it would be beneficial for all of us here to discuss various aspects of Vision 2020, as it's going to directly affect us in the near future.
This morning I was reading up on the "Core Values" of professionalism in PT.
They've listed 7, in no particular order:
7. Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is the promotion of a mutual trust between the profession and the larger public that necessitates responding to societal needs for health nad wellness.
Thoughts on the Core Values? And any other topic dealing with Vision 2020?
I'd really like to get a good converation going to benefit all of us intellectually and also for those who will be going to interviews and will undoubtedly be asked questions regarding this vision!
Let the discussion begin!!
This morning I was reading up on the "Core Values" of professionalism in PT.
They've listed 7, in no particular order:
1. Accountability
The active acceptance of the responsibility for the diverse roles, obligations, and actions of the physical therapist including self-regulation and other behaviors that positively influence paitent/client outcomes, the profession and the health needs of society.
2. Altruism
Altruism is the primary regard for or devotion to the interest of patients/clients, thus assuming the fiduciary responsibility of placing the needs of the patient/client ahead of the physical therapist's self-interest.
3. Compassion/Caring
Compassion is the desire to identify with or sense something of another's experience; a precursor of caring. Caring is the concern, empathy, and consideration for the needs and values of others.
4. Excellence
Excellence is physical therapy practice that consistently uses current knowledge and theory while understanding personal limits, integrates judgment and the patient/client perspective, embraces advancement, challenges mediocrity, and works toward development of new knowledge.
5. Integrity
Steadfast adherence to high ethical principles or professional standards; truthfulness, fairness, doing what you say you will do, and "speaking forth" about why you do what you do.
6. Professional Duty
Professional duty is the commitment to meeting one's obligations to provide effective physical therapy services to individual patients/clients, to serve the profession, and to positively influence the health of society.
