An allegation of sexual misconduct is stressful, as well as potentially damaging to your professional and personal life. And even doctors with the best of intentions can find their motives questioned.

That's why all D.C.s should understand the following aspects of professional boundaries:

Why the patient—not the doctor—sets the boundaries
What you should avoid saying to patients to reduce your risk of a malpractice allegation
How you can identify high-risk situations and patients
What you should do if you have already violated a professional boundary

NCMIC’s online booklet guides you through the above and more.
