Y1 - 2024 N1 - T2 - Professional Issues and Ethics in Physical Therapy: A Case-Based Approach, 2nd Edition AB - There have been many attempts to provide a simple explanation or definition of the word profession and the individual who is a professional. The attempt always seems to center around an ethical foundation within an established expertise and established body of information. A profession has aptly been defined as a “disciplined group of individuals who adhere to ethical standards (Australian Council of Professions, 2022; Professional Standards Councils, 2022). A professional is an individual who identifies with a certain profession and adheres to the ethical standards of that group (Creuss et al., 2004).
