Over the years Ethics Inc has worked directly with a wide variety of clients to develop educational and professional development resources designed to enhance awareness and understanding of the delivery of safe, effective and ethical healthcare whether among students, faculty or practitioners.

​

Dr. Paiva and her team pride themselves in working closely with their clients to tailor the content, whether course curriculum for students or professional development courses or workshops for faculty or practitioners. All learning resources, whether delivered in-person or on-line, are designed to ensure specific learning objectives are first identified and then met.

​

Regardless of the audience or the method of delivery the most important component of any Ethic Inc learning resource is the inclusion of participant exercises and practice or work based case studies. These components are designed to ensure that participants, not only learn the material presented, but more importantly are able to apply the learning to everyday practice.
