Winter Quarter Bodemer Interprofessional Ethics Lab: Navigating Patients’ Refusals of Care- Register by 1/1/18

Sign up today for the Winter quarter Bodemer Interprofessional Ethics Lab!

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 interprofessional ethics lab, we will focus on applying some key approaches of clinical ethics to cases in which patients refuse recommendations by their healthcare team. We will consider the influence of factors such as patient decisional capacity, cultural/religious beliefs, patient preferences, and trust in the healthcare system. Ethics Consultants and clinicians from UW Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center 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.

When: Tuesday January 8, 2019, 6:00-8:00pm (food available at 5:30pm!)
