SSW MSW Blog



We invite students in the healthcare professions (e.g., MSW, MPH, MD, DDS, PharmD, BSN, DNP, PT/OT/SLP) to join the Department of Bioethics & Humanities and the Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education, Research & Practice for dinner and an evening of connecting with colleagues and engaging in ethical dilemmas!

In this lab, we will focus on applying some key approaches of clinical ethics to a case of conflict around the declaration of brain death. Ethics Consultants and clinicians from UWMC and HMC will help guide small group discussion using some of the language, principles, and tools that guide bioethicists.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn about principles of ethics and how they can be used to analyze a case of ethical conflict or uncertainty.
  • Work as a collaborative team to apply ethics analysis tools to the healthcare decision-making process.

Flyer Ethics Lab Sep 2018

I am writing to encourage you to register for FAMED 527: Inter-professional Care of Urban Underserved Patients. In this 1-credit course, medical and social work students will review case studies of complex underserved patients and work together to develop care plans. Each session will feature an MSW and an MD as guest speakers, and they will discuss their approach to inter-professional care, and how social workers and physicians can work together to address health disparities and barriers to care. The sessions will focus on topics including addiction, housing, insurance status, food and transportation, housing, and immigration status. The course will meet seven times during fall quarter, on Thursdays from 5:30-6:50 pm in Health Sciences E-214.  I was told that some of you have classes until 5:20pm on Thursdays.  It’s okay if you arrive a few minutes late, due to the walking time.

If you’re interested in registering, please contact Genya Shimkin for an add code: gshimkin@uw.edu
