“Finding Moral Agency and Resisting Threats to Professional Identity”

The Bioethics Network of Ohio (BENO) is hosting its next virtual education seminar on October 16th from 4-5pm Eastern with Dr. Sabrina Derrington.

Sabrina Derrington, MD, MA, HEC-C
Director, Center for Bioethics,
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics,
Keck School of Medicine of USC

When the ability for healthcare professionals to provide good patient care is constrained by political, legal, or economic forces, we can experience distress and threats to professional or personal identity. What does it mean to be a “good” clinician in these circumstances? In this session Dr. Derrington will consider the ethical obligations of individuals, professionals, and organizations in response to health injustice and offer steps healthcare professionals can take to reclaim moral agency and build moral community.

BENO Quarterly Education Sessions are held virtually on Zoom. They require prior registration but are open to all. In addition, individual & instutional BENO members have access to the recorded library of BENO Education Sessions.
