Three ethical practices that are most important to me include giving prospective students all the information they need to make an informed choice. This includes full disclosure regarding the program, our results and how intensive it is. A second ethical practice is in regards to managing faculty and ensuring the quality of the program. Students deserve to get what they pay for and making sure faculty are staying on top of their responsibilities is an essential part of my duties. Ensuring we deliver what we promise is a primary ethical concern. Lastly, ensuring the massage scope of practice is followed by both students and faculty is a primary concern. Ensuring the integrity of the field is a primary responsibility of all licensed massage practitioners.
I agree that getting the student into the right program is very important. I don't want to enroll someone just to have someone in a seat. I also think its important to be ethical in providing a student with answers to their questions. If you don't know, say you don't know and help find someone that does know!
I pride myself in providing accurate information to students regarding cost. I also never make any promises or guarantees regarding credit transfers, or placement.
Ethical practices that are important to me are being honest about the cost of going to school. Secondly, letting students know the reality of loans. Yes, loans mean they have to pay it back. Lastly, ensureing the the student gets the most up-to- date inforamtion about the programs.
The first ethical practice that is important to me is to make sure that I am getting a student into the correct program, not just the program that is available for that quarter. The student will have the most success in a program that they want. Another ethical practice that is important to me is dicussing payment for school and the reality of student loans and that the student completely understands this. There are many students who live on their loans without thinking about the repayment of these. I have seen some students who max out their student loans without even having a degree to show for it, so I think this is an extremely important discussion to be had with the potential student. The last ethical practice is to tell the student the complete truth all of the time whether it is good or bad news, or if I don't know the answer. This helps me to be compliant at all times and makes me keep up with my education on changing policies and programs. If I dont' know something then I don't make it up. I simply email or call someone who knows the answer and relay that to the student.
