Why Professional Standards Matter

CAPA's national standards framework protects patients by ensuring all certified practitioners meet a consistent baseline of education, training, and ethical conduct. Standards safeguard the public and elevate the profession.

Code of Ethics

All CAPA members are bound by a comprehensive Code of Ethics covering patient confidentiality, informed consent, scope of practice, cultural sensitivity, and professional boundaries. Violations are taken seriously.

Public Safety & Patient Care

Your safety is our priority. CAPA-certified practitioners are trained to recognize when to refer patients to other healthcare providers, maintain safe clinical environments, and provide culturally appropriate care.

Professional Conduct

CAPA monitors member conduct through an active oversight process. Practitioners are required to uphold standards of professionalism, honesty, and integrity in all patient and colleague interactions.

Complaint Resolution Process

If you have concerns about a CAPA member's conduct or care, you can submit a formal complaint. Our independent review committee investigates all complaints confidentially and impartially.
