Can you go over whether licensure is considered a basic or primary principle of ethics?
Answer
Licensure is not technically a principle of ethics. If you go back to the principles, the principles of ethics are things like beneficence, non-maleficence, veracity, and confidentiality. Licensure is something that is been enacted by our states to clarify what our practice is, to clarify what they expect from us, and our minimum competency standards. It is technically not a principle of ethics.
