Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
The objective of Part 9 is to outline standards in order to
				  preserve integrity and ethical principles of professionals serving the public
				  in the speech-language pathology audiology and/or hearing aid dispensing
				  fields.
New Mexico Administrative Code › Title 16 - OCCUPATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LICENSING › Chapter 26 - HEARING, SPEECH AND AUDIOLOGY PRACTITIONERS › Part 9 - CODE OF ETHICS › Section 16.26.9.8 - CODE OF ETHICS

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 13, July 16, 2024
A. The purpose
				of the Code of Ethics is to preserve high standards of integrity and ethical
				principles in the discharge of obligations to the public by the professions of
				speech-language pathologists, audiologists and hearing aid dispensers. Every
				individual who practices as a licensed speech-language pathologist, audiologist
				or hearing aid dispenser shall abide by the Code of Ethics. Any action that
				violates the Code of Ethics is to be considered unethical and subject to
				disciplinary action by the board. Failure of the code to specify any particular
				responsibility or practice is not to be construed as a denial of the existence
				of a responsibility or practice in that area. The rules of ethics are specific
				statements of minimally acceptable professional conduct or of prohibitions and
				are applicable to all licensed individuals. The fundamental rules of ethical
				conduct as they relate to responsibility to the public are described in three
				categories, principles of ethics, ethical proscriptions and matters of
				professional propriety.
(1) Principles of
				ethics: Six principles serve as a basis for the ethical evaluation of
				professional conduct and form the underlying moral basis for the Code of
				Ethics. Licensed individuals subscribing to this code shall observe these
				principles as affirmative obligations under all conditions of professional
				activity.
(2) Ethical
				proscriptions: Ethical proscriptions are formal statements of prohibitions that
				are derived from the principles of ethics.
(3) Matters of professional propriety:
				Matters of professional propriety represent guidelines of conduct designed to
				promote the public interest and thereby better inform the public and
				particularly the persons in need of service by the speech-language pathologist,
				audiologist and hearing aid dispenser as to the availability and the rules
				governing the delivery of these services.
