Autor

Carla Caldwell Stanford holds two masters’ degrees and a PhD. Now retired, she taught a medical law and bioethics course at the undergraduate college level for eight years and developed course curricula on this topic. The motivating factor for writing this textbook, for Stanford, was to simplify ethics and laws concerning the health care professional in ways that would be both appealing and easily understood by the student. Valerie J. Connor has earned a Master of Arts in Speech Pathology and a Master of Science in Health Education. She has practiced in school and long-term health care settings. Currently, she teaches at both the undergraduate and graduate level with a focus on the legal and ethical aspects of health care. She hopes that students will have a better understanding of the laws and ethical issues surrounding health care after reading this text.
