What You Don’t See Will Harm Them: Culturally Informed Care in a World of Hidden Values, Hidden Systems, and Hidden Harm

You are warmly invited to attend the upcoming Ethics Grand Rounds, hosted by the Clinical Ethics Education Council at the CU Center for Bioethics and Humanities. This live virtual event will feature a compelling discussion led by Dr. Chelsey Patten with Dr. Aasim Padela as a respondent!

Please feel free to share information about this event widely. Please note, the views expressed are those of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect those of the Center or UCHealth. We encourage open dialogue and critical thinking as we explore these topics together. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify ethical considerations in discussing culturally or religiously sensitive aspects of medical treatment, with a focus on transparency, trust, and patient autonomy.
2. Analyze how hidden assumptions and incomplete informed consent processes impact patient-provider relationships and decision-making in culturally informed care.
3. Evaluate systemic barriers — such as inadequate EHR documentation, opaque pharmaceutical labeling, and workflow design — that limit the practice of culturally informed care.
Propose actionable strategies for clinicians, ethicists, and healthcare leaders to build systems that proactively integrate patient values into care planning.

CME Credit will be offered for live participation.*

Certificates of Participation from the CU Center for Bioethics and Humanities are available upon request.
