Week 1 DQ 1 Academic integrity is at the heart of GCU's values and is integral to our
university community. According to the Center for Academic Integrity, there are five
fundamental values that are central to academic integrity: honesty, trust, fairness,
respect, and responsibility. Before responding to this Discussion Question, view GCU's
website on Academic Integrity at ​http://www.gcu.edu/Academics/Academic-Integrity.php
Pay special attention to the Policies and Resources section of this site.
Consider the following scenario: A student took a communication course his freshman
year and passed it with a grade of A. Four years later, the student is now taking a
leadership course that has a similar assignment to one he completed his freshman year.
He reuses one of his assignments and submits it as an assignment in his current,
leadership class.
Is this considered a violation of academic integrity? Explain your answer with
consideration given to the five fundamental values of the Center for Academic Integrity
and the specific policies of the Center.
Week 1 DQ 2 The following is an excerpt from the textbook reading ​Professionalism in
Health Care​:
"If you want to be viewed as a health care professional, you need to be aware of what's
going on in your industry… you need to be keep up with current trends and issues and

2. consider how they might affect your job, your patients, your personal health, and your
career." (Makely, et. al, p. 5)
Give three reasons why it is important for health care professionals to be knowledgeable
about what is happening in the health care industry. Provide at least two examples from
your readings of ways to keep up with current trends and issues.
Week 2 DQ 1 The vision statement of The Association of Schools of Allied Health
Professions (ASAHP) says that it is "the unifying voice and leading advocate for allied
health education." How does it define the allied health professions? How is this definition
consistent with the interdependence described in this week's reading from
Professionalism in Health Care​?
Week 2 DQ 2 Hunt, in the article, "Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Practices: Process
and Criteria for Evaluating Adaptations of Norms and Standards in Health Care
Institutions," writes, "Patient-centeredness suggests that health care providers and
organizations adapt the services they provide to reflect the goals, needs and values of
individual patients."
What does this statement mean to you? Also, by simply making this statement, Hunt
implies that patient-centeredness is not the norm. Why is something as important as this
not the norm, particularly since the mission of health care institutions is to provide care to
those who cannot care for themselves?
Week 3 DQ 1 The focus of this week's readings is interdisciplinary collaboration. How
does Freshman, in the ​Collaboration Across the Disciplines of Health Care ​textbook,
define interdisciplinary collaboration in health care organizations? Is this definition
consistent with the current practice in your organization? What would need to change in
order to improve interdisciplinary collaboration in your department?

3. Week 3 DQ 2 Consider the following scenario and respond to the questions that follow.
"Three coworkers approach you, angry about a new policy being implemented within the
organization. These three individuals are working to round up support to complain to
management and they want you to get involved with their efforts."
1. Do the behaviors of your peers encourage or discourage respect in the
workplace?
2. How do you respond to your peers?
3. How might you work to resolve the conflict?
Is a resolution to this situation possible to all interested parties? (This includes the three
coworkers, management, and you.) Discuss
Week 4 DQ 1 Define personal image and discuss why maintaining professionalism while
on the job and after hours are important. Give at least two examples of ways health care
providers exhibit professionalism in practice.
Week 4 DQ 2 Consider the following scenario:
Someone that you thought was your friend posted on a popular social networking site
embarrassing photographs of you taken at a party last weekend. This was done without
your knowledge or permission. The following day you receive a call from your employer
asking you to meet with your boss and your HR department to discuss your behavior.
What would you do? How could you have avoided this scenario?
Week 5 DQ 1 Why must health care providers must grow as professionals? What benefits
does this give to all interested parties (the organization, the patients, and the health care
providers themselves)? Make a list of at least five benefits and then pick two from among

4. the list that you most closely identify with. Explain how these two benefits may have
impacted your own professional development.
Week 5 DQ 2 Considering what you have learned throughout this course, what skills,
behaviors or approaches might you apply in your organizational setting either to improve
patient care, or to advance your professional career? What can you do today to set your
plans in motion?
