About This Event
Memorizing the code and then getting handed the keys to a Ferrari on I-40 isn't ethics training. Dr. Jon Bailey and Zachary Stevens join Mike and me to talk about the difference between following the Ethics Code and being an ethical behavior analyst. We dig into conflicts of interest when pay is tied to billable hours, and paying for outcomes instead of hours. CEUs through Hickory Learning Group, a BACB ACE Provider (OP-24-10923). ACE Coordinator: Sean Yocum, MA, BCBA, LBA. Listening alone doesn't earn credit. Completing the knowledge checks, not listening alone, is required to earn credit.
