title: Ethics and community-based education: balancing respect for the community with professional preparation.
abstract: Community-based education and service learning are becoming increasingly common in health and human services education. As students enter the community, several ethical dilemmas arise regarding the university's interaction with the community. This article explores clinical, agency, and community placements in terms of the relationships they engender between the university and the community. The article then outlines some ethical obligations of universities and faculty members and ethical dilemmas that arise in different placements. Finally, a fundamental ethical framework that may guide universities and faculty members in planning community-based educational experiences is proposed.
