12:30 – 2:30 pm Workshop: (Must pre-register, no charge) “Name, Claim, and Aim – Identifying and Using Your Individual Strengths” (Limit of 25)

Abstract: As employees and leaders in sports medicine healthcare, understanding ourselves is the first step to achieving vocational satisfaction. Employees who understand their individual strengths and can utilize and leverage them daily demonstrate increased workplace engagement, increased performance, and lower attrition levels. This session will focus on utilizing the Clifton StrengthsFinder tool to assist participants in identifying their inherent talents and explore how they might further develop those talents to approach tasks with higher levels of productivity and efficiency. In addition, participants will become aware of the biases and filters their talents create and develop strategies for improving self-awareness, self-expression, and self-regulation. Finally, participants will learn how to apply strengths-based development principles to their
interactions in individual and team relationships.

Workshop Learning Outcomes:
1. Name: Explore individual talent themes and strategies for strengths-based development.
2. Claim: Identify inherent individual biases and filters that impact productivity and relationships.
3. Aim: Understand and appreciate how one can apply strengths-based development theories to
promote individual and team engagement and productivity.

1:00 – 2:00 pm Workshop: “Using Shared Professional Values in Sports Medicine to Guide Ethical Behavior in Clinical Practice” Kimberly S. Peer, EdD, ATC, FNATA, Kent State University

Sports Medicine professionals are obliged to abide by the Code of Ethics established for their discipline-specific organizations and state practice acts. However, interpretation of the Code of Ethics is often times variable and can lead to ethical vulnerabilities in clinical practice. Therefore, professional organizations have explicitly articulated shared professional values to guide behaviors. As sports medicine professionals grapple with the ambiguities of clinical practice, these shared professional values will guide behaviors. The literature contends that these consistent shared professional values will guide a professional identity for the practitioner and discipline collectively. The purpose of this workshop is to present and connect the tenets of code of ethics and shared professional values in sports medicine professions. Through case analysis and application, these shared professional values will be used as foundational decision-making tools to address ethical decision-making in sports medicine situations.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of the workshop, the participants will be able to:

Understand the connection between professional codes of ethics and shared professional values;
Identify how the shared professional values guide professional behaviors in ethical decision making situations;
Analyze cases to actively consider the multiple strategies for resolving ethical dilemmas; and,
Integrate the construct of professional identity as a substantive outcome of the implementation and integration of shared professional values in clinical decision making.
