No one appreciates a staff member being dishonest, rude or unprofessional. Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants have an obligation to fulfill in the workforce, especially professionalism. I believe professionalism is a person who holds themselves to a higher standard and one who obeys the code of ethical standards. Physical therapist assistants should display beliefs, values and attitudes towards staff members and clients throughout their career. These values should also be kept in our homes, religion and social life. We must be held accountable for our actions and perform to the best of our ability. My parents always told me, “know who you are and know whose you are.”. This statement will always carry over into my adult life.
