On October 14, 2008, the NCCAOM Board of Commissioners approved a newly revised Code of Ethics. The changes to the Code of Ethics were recommended by NCCAOM's Prefessional Ethics and Discipline Committee (PEDC), lead by Chair, Michael Taromina. Section A, #12, of the Code was amended to include a six month waiting period before a practitioner could engage in sexual contact with a former patient. Practitioners continue to be cautioned that a sexual relationship must not exploit the trust established during the professional relationship. |
