Hi, David -
The Cannons of Ethical Conduct says (section 1.2, first paragraph):
Although decertification is the maximum penalty that may be imposed by ABC for a certified orthotist and/or prosthetist who violates these Cannons, each orthotist/prosthetist has a civic and professional obligation to report to the appropriate governmental body and all evidence that may come to his/her attention involving the alleged criminal conduct of any orthotist and/or prosthetist to the practice of orthotics or prosthetics.
You probably have the full text at hand - it is on page 20 of the current registry.
What do you think about that?

Here is a repeat of a question I posted earlier, but got no responses to:
I'm licensed in Florida. Am I legally forced to squeel on license-law
violaters?
In other words, if I observe or know of an unlicensed O or P practitioner
where I work (or in my locale) who is practicing O or P in violation of
Florida licensing law, am I under legal obligation to report him or her? Am I
in danger of losing my license if I don't? Where can I obtain a copy of the
rules which govern this issue?
Thanks in advance for your answers. As always, I will post the responses.
