Dear List,

      I am a student currently enrolled in an O & P assistants program. For one of my gen-ed classes I am required to have someone in my field answer a few questions about ethics and professionalism in the workplace. I have listed the questions below, and I would really appreciate it if someone could take a couple minutes to answer them. I know all of you are very busy, so thank you in advance if you respond - it will be a great help to me!

Thanks so much!

Julie Whittinghill
