Students are required to select the scenario representative of their own health professional discipline (Public Health) and compare and contrast their duties in the chosen scenario to the duties of different health care professionals. Students should identify the conflicting ethical priorities in this case study and discuss them in relation to the following areas of ethical and professional reasoning:  - National and international ethical frameworks  - Professional Codes of Ethics, Codes of Conduct & Position Statements. - The ethical theories and/or principles relevant to this given practice area CASE STUDY ONE: Kamil Samra is a sports physiotherapist and specialist in treating musculoskeletal injuries who is employed by an AFL club on the basis of his notable success. Kamil enjoys friendly relations with the players and the club managers and has become a close friend of two of the players. One evening, at a bar, Kamil is made aware that the coach and sports scientists are supplying performance-enhancing drugs to the players. He later verifies this information for himself when he discovers a package containing the banned peptide Thymosin beta-4 at the club headquarters. Kamil discusses this issue with both the coach and the club management who, in turn, offer him an even higher salary in exchange for his silence on this matter. In accepting the offer Kamil can ensure care for his poor, aging parents in Lebanon. However, he is aware that Thymosin beta-4 not only enhances athletic performance (and is in breach of the anti-doping rules in sport), but it may also cause long-term health issues, but the players, in being contractually bound to follow instructions by the coaching team, are not really free to refuse to use this banned peptide. As there are many disciplines undertaking the unit, you should pick the scenario that will represent a moral dilemma in your discipline Public health. The scenarios are mainly generic and if you look at them holistically, they will demonstrate a multidisciplinary perspective. Think about how you would be involved in any given scenario. 1. Determine the stakeholders including two health care professionals in the case scenario; This refers to the people who are affected by the ethical dilemma in the chosen scenario, including you in your discipline area and a selected other health care professional that would be affected. 2. Differentiate the ethical and legal conflicts and explain them from the following perspectives: a. The dignity and rights of all stakeholders in this case This will be assessed on the content you have learned in the classroom with regards to ethical theories, and health care and human rights charters. b. The principles and virtues of health care ethics that inform professional practice. This is self-explanatory. It is expected that you make references to specific ethical principles in health care ethics and discuss how they are relevant in your chosen scenario and possible how they conflict with each other. c. The relevant codes of ethics and/or codes of professional conduct . This refers to your codes of professional conduct and what parts are particularly relevant in your chosen scenario and how they will guide your ethical practice. 3. Propose a legally and ethically defensible resolution to these conflicts. This point will look at how you bring all the above to propose a resolution to the identified ethical dilemma. It is expected that each student will propose different solutions as the theories; principles and codes of professional conduct are so diverse. All of the above criteria must be supported through your research with peer reviewed sources.
