Most Principle 9 violations involve NBCOT study tool copyright infringement. Uploading copyrighted NBCOT practice questions to sites like Quizlet or Facebook - or even saving NBCOT content uploaded by someone else - is a violation. #OTCertificationMatters #CopyrightInfringement

Certificants shall not misuse NBCOT's intellectual property, certification marks, logos, or other copyrighted materials, including but not limited to: discussing NBCOT exam content; copying, uploading, or sharing NBCOT study tools, web pages, or other copyrighted content including discussion forums; using an NBCOT certification mark when not actively certified; displaying NBCOT logos without consent.

Principle 8 is all about patient privacy. Be careful about posting online. Always make sure no personal identifying information is visible in a photo or video that you share. Be cautious about what you discuss in a public space. #OTCertificationMatters

Certificants shall not electronically post personal health information or anything, including photos, that may reveal a patient’s/client’s identity or personal or therapeutic relationship, without the patient's/client's written consent. (All statements, regardless of intent, about a patient/client can potentially contain sufficient information for a member of a community to recognize the patient/client, thus violating the state and/or federal law.

Did you know that, while NBCOT must have clear & convincing evidence of a violation of the Code of Conduct in order to take action, a violation does not always result in a sanction? NBCOT may dismiss a violation if action has been taken by another entity. #OTCertificationMatters

This is another principle that includes behaviors outside of OT practice. NBCOT determined violation of Principle 6 to be certificants found to have perpetrated abuse, or engaged in harassment, threats, stalking, etc. Next week we'll break down Principle 7 #OTCertificationMatters

Principle 6
Certificants shall not engage in behavior or conduct, lawful or otherwise that causes them to be, or reasonably perceived to be, a threat or potential threat to the health, well-being, or safety of recipients or potential recipients of occupational therapy services.
