Join the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: "Practical Ethics for TMS Practices"

Speaker: Ian Cook, MD, DLFAPA, FCTMSS

Ethical issues arise every day when providing TMS therapy, whether around professionalism, boundaries, transparency, or conflicts of interest. Interactions with patients, manufacturers, colleagues, and the public may challenge us and members of our care teams. Fortunately, there are frameworks that can help us identify the issues and guide our approaches so we can uphold professional standards.

Using illustrative case vignettes, in this webinar we'll explore the ethical challenges in TMS practice with Dr. Ian Cook, long-time co-chair of the CTMSS Legal, Business, and Ethics Committee, and a Member of our Board.

During this presentation, attendees will address these three key topic areas:

• Professionalism
• Boundaries
• Transparency and Conflicts of Interest

Take advantage of our live Q&A session at the conclusion of the webinar.

One CME credit is available.
