The EBAS essay exam serves as a comprehensive tool for identifying substance abuse violations among licensees in healthcare professions. Through targeted questions and scenario-based prompts, it assesses not only factual knowledge but also the licensee's understanding of ethical boundaries and their ability to recognize and address substance abuse issues within their professional practice. By evaluating responses for signs of impaired judgment, boundary violations, and potential risks to patient safety, the EBAS exam provides valuable insights into the licensee's ethical competence and adherence to professional standards.

Licensees may inadvertently or intentionally breach patient confidentiality, jeopardizing trust and violating ethical principles

Substance abuse may lead to misuse of authority or power dynamics, such as coercion, manipulation, or exploitation of vulnerable individuals

See a Sample

A chiropractor submitted bills to a patient’s insurance for approximately 85 visits which did not occur. When the patient confronted the chiropractor with these charges the chiropractor admitted the charges were fraudulent. The chiropractor also admitted to creating fake appointments in a hidden calendar on the clinic computer where staff would not see them and be alerted.
