Confidentiality of Case Materials – Usage Guidelines

Training materials include video and written case information which requires strict confidentiality, just as if you were honoring confidentiality of any person whose case you were taking. The same standard of confidentiality applies for the individual in each of the clinical video cases.  These clients have agreed to have personal experience, and their personal discomforts and suffering used in a teaching context. They deserve the appreciation and respect that this contribution merits.  Your confidentiality is specifically required. Content of these cases must not be discussed outside this platform, except with others in this course, just as a personal details of any case that you took would not be discussed outside of interaction with the person whose case was taken.
