SUMMARY:Ethics Case Conference: "Is the MOLST Valid? Is the Patient Refusing? Ethics Amidst Unclear Goals of Care"
DESCRIPTION:With Daniel Kim\, PhD\, MPH & Christen Paradissis\, PhD \nDr. Kim received a PhD in Religious Ethics from the University of Chicago and an MPH in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Yale University. He was a 2021-22 fellow of the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago. His research examines ethical issues by attending to basic questions of self\, community\, and culture\, specifically issues in clinical moral distress\, end-of -life care\, ethics education\, health justice\, and religion and medicine. His recent works have been published in the Hasting Center Report\, American Journal of Bioethics\, Journal of Religion and Health\, Journal of Intensive Care Medicine\, and Teaching and Learning in Medicine. \nDr. Paradissis is a clinical ethics fellow at the Alden March Bioethics Institute. She obtained a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Utah in 2024. In addition to her doctoral work\, Dr. Paradissis has served as a writing panel member for the American Nurses Association’s 2024 revision of the Code of Ethics\, was a nursing ethics intern at the Cleveland Clinic in 2021 and practiced a registered nurse from 2016-2019. Dr. Paradissis’ research focuses on the ethics of trust\, betrayal\, and blame in tripartite relationships in the health care setting\, as well as discerning the boundaries of professional practice. She is interested in thinking about the role health care institutions play in setting expectations of trust between nurses and patients\, about how breakdowns in trust occur when nurses\, patients\, and institutions blame one another\, and about what practices of blame between such parties are morally permissible. \nPlease join us! There will be plenty of time for questions afterwards!

SUMMARY:2025 Healthcare in a Civil Society: Who Will Care for Us? Quality\, Access and Ethical Integrity in the Future of Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:In an era of rapid transformation in healthcare we must ask who will be caring for us 10 years from now?  What will the future of primary care look like?  Will it be high quality?  Will it be accessible to vulnerable populations?  Will it be provided with ethical integrity? \nHealthcare in a Civil Society 2025 will address the pressing issues facing the healthcare system\, especially in the delivery of primary care.  This engaging event features an internationally recognized content expert and an expert panel as we seek to explore the evolving landscape of primary care and discuss strategies for ensuring that the system remains both effective and equitable. \nThis symposium will examine the important elements of a healthcare system – quality of care\, access to services\, and ethical integrity – through a keynote presentation and panel discussion.  To do this we will explore the future of the primary care workforce\, the barriers to providing equitable access to healthcare services and innovations that can help to alleviate the workforce problem and bridge the gaps in care.  Key topics will include the impact of technological advancements on care delivery\, the importance of maintaining high standards amidst increasing demand\, and the ethical consideration of balancing patient needs with resource constraints. \nParticipants will gain insights into innovative models of care that are reshaping the primary care environment\, such as patient-centered medical homes and integrated care systems. Discussions will also focus on strategies to improve access for underserved populations and ensure that all patients receive equitable\, high-quality care. \nThe event aims to foster a collaborative dialogue among healthcare providers\, policymakers\, and community leaders to develop actionable solutions and forward-thinking policies. By addressing these critical issues\, “Who Will Care for Us?” aspires to pave the way for a more resilient and ethically sound primary care system that is prepared to meet the needs of future generations. \nRegistration cost is $25\nRegistration cost with CE credit is $40\nRegistration cost for full/part time students is $10 (ID will be required at check-in) \nTarget Audience\n\n\n\nThis program is open to all healthcare professionals who work in primary care\, healthcare institutions and academia.  Full-time and part-time students are welcome and will receive a discounted rate. \nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nAt the conclusion of this activity\, participants should be able to: \n\nSummarize the evolution of primary care delivery and the trajectory in which it is headed;\nDiscuss who the primary care providers of the future will be and how primary care will be delivered;\nExplain the barriers patients experience in accessing primary care\, particularly for underserved populations\, and how that may change in the future;\nEvaluate the role of technology to enhance access and quality in primary care and the impact it will have on primary care delivery;\nExamine the ethical frameworks that guide decision-making in primary care settings\, focusing on patient-centered care;\nDiscuss the importance of teamwork among healthcare professionals in delivering comprehensive primary care; and\nDescribe potential future challenges in primary care delivery and brainstorm strategies to ensure ethical integrity and quality care for all patients\n\nKeynote Speaker: Nancy Dickey\, MD. President Emeritus\, Texas A&M\, Health Science Center \nDr. Nancy W. Dickey is a past president of the American Medical Association and past chair of the AMA Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs. She currently serves as a professor in the Department of Primary Care and Population Health and the Department of Medical Humanities in the College of Medicine and as a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management in the School of Public Health\, Texas A&M Health Science Center. \nFEATURING: Tracy Hicks\, DNP\, MBA\, President-Elect\, Texas Nurse Practitioners Frank Lonergan\, MD\, MSW\, Medical Director\, Tarrant County Jail Diversion Program Jo Tilley\, DNP\, Director of Nursing Practice\, Cook Children’s Medical Center Stuart Pickell\, MD\, MDiv\, Ethics Theme Lead at TCU Burnett School of Medicine \nModerator: The Honorable Pete Geren\, JD.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Building Infrastructures to Enhance Community Engagement Work
DESCRIPTION:This ELSI Friday Forum is co-hosted with The Broad Institute. Community engagement is increasingly seen as a necessary component of genetic and genomic research. One major rationale for community engaged genetic research is to assure that benefits of research are aligned with community needs and goals. Assuring broad benefits also requires broad representation in genetic and genomic research participant populations. Organizations such as the American Society for Human Genetics have put forward guidance to advance community-engaged research\, which was aimed at the scientific community. However\, there are structural barriers to the advancement of community-engaged research that may require the action of institutions such as scientific journals\, research funders\, and academic research organizations. This session will address ways that structural and systemic factors can lower barriers to effective community engagement in genetic and genomic research. \nPanelists: Ishita Das\, PhD\, PMP; Alycia Halladay\, PhD; and Celia van der Merwe\, PhD. \nModerator: Heini Natri\, PhD. \n  \nContact Email: info@elsihub.org \nRegistration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dw1MMk8NSeiX08gNIMYRsA#/registration

SUMMARY:The Carceral Hospital: Race\, Birth\, and Imagining a Different World of Health
DESCRIPTION:Along with social determinants\, the hospital as an institution must also be examined for its role in poor Black infant and maternal health outcomes worldwide. With the US and the African diaspora as her dual focus\, Collins argues hospitals must be held accountable for their demand for the literal and financial incarceration of Black mothers who cannot afford safe and attentive healthcare. With a reproductive justice orientation to bioethical practice\, she invites audience members to imagine a future where hospital-accrued debt is no longer a factor in poor Black maternal health outcomes. \nAbout Mali Collins\, PhD: Mali Collins’ research areas include Black motherhood studies\, Black archival studies\, 20th and 21st century literature and art\, medical humanities\, digital technology\, and reproductive health and justice. She is a practicing birth\, postpartum\, and pregnancy termination doula\, and a trained Perinatal and Infant Loss advocate with The Womb Room in Baltimore\, MD. Prior to joining the CRGC\, she was an Assistant Professor of African American Literature in the English department at Howard University. Dr. Collins was also an NEH NextGeneration PhD Fellow with the African American Public Humanities Initiative at the University of Delaware. She has been the recipient of many awards and fellowships from Imagining America Institute\, the National Endowment of Humanities\, the Mellon Foundation\, and the American Association of University Women. Her dissertation project won the Ida B. Wells Award from the Coordinating Council on Women and History and its third chapter won the Women of Color Caucus Graduate Essay Award from the National Women’s Studies Association. She was most recently an Errin J. Vuley Fellow with the Feminist Women’s Health Center in Atlanta\, GA. \nDr. Collins is currently preparing her book manuscript\, Scrap Theory: Reproductive Injustice in the Black Feminist Imagination (under contract\, OSU Press 2024) which creates new methodologies to investigate contemporary formations of Black maternal dispossession within the confines of radical documentation and archiving. Dr. Collins has published and has forthcoming work in the peer-reviewed journals: American Quarterly\, Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics\, Society\, and Culture\, National Political Science Review\, Frontiers\, and The Black Scholar. She has published on popular mediums such as The Feminist Wire\, b*tch! Magazine\, TheRoot.com\, AfroPunk.com\, has forthcoming articles on TruthOut.comand The Hastings Center’s online journal. Her creative poems and short stories have been published in SALT: Contemporary Art + Feminism\, The HAUNT Journal of Art\, and an autobiographical book chapter will be published by Demeter Press in 2022.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Ethical Landscape of Medical Aid in Dying: Emerging Challenges and Future
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, guest speaker Yvette Vieira\, MMH\, HEC-C\, joins Division of Ethics Chief Sandra Soo-Jin Lee\, PhD\, to discuss the ethical implications of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Lunch will be provided after in the VEC lobby.  \nAbstract: Medical aid in dying (MAiD) is legal in 11 US jurisdictions\, with 19 additional states considering legislation. If successful\, nearly 50% of the population would have access to this end-of-life option. This discussion will overview the US landscape and laws before addressing contentious ethical challenges: Do institutional policies restricting MAiD participation create barriers to autonomous end-of-life choices and perpetuate healthcare disparities? Is it ethical for patients to access MAiD through Voluntary Stopping of Eating and Drinking for non-terminal conditions? Should those with significant psychiatric conditions access MAiD without a terminal diagnosis? Yvette Vieira will explore the importance of healthcare ethics in these evolving issues. \nEthics Grand Rounds is a series organized by the Division of Ethics in the Department of Medical Humanities & Ethics. The goal of Ethics Grand Rounds is to engage our community of health professionals\, scholars\, scientists and trainees across career stages and disciplines by elevating important topics and debates in medical ethics that relate to clinical practice\, research\, implementation\, and education. \nEvent Contact Information:\nDavid Lamb\ndl3580@cumc.columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Injustice: The Clinical and Ethical Implications of Our Unhealthy Environments
DESCRIPTION:Our health is largely determined by our social environments and that includes our physical environments. Our health is directly impacted by the location of oil and gas facilities\, the amount of plastics and carcinogens in our drinking water and the air we breathe\, and the number of yearly natural disasters. Furthermore\, not all people are equally affected by these environmental factors. People of color\, those with low incomes\, the young and the old\, and those with chronic illness are affected more by unhealthy environments. In this presentation\, I discuss these realities of environmental injustice by demonstrating the clinical and ethical implications of our unhealthy environments. I discuss the ethical decisions about health equity and class and racial disparities in health that environmental injustices forces us to make and how they affect the number of clinical interventions available to remedy our poor health. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDiscuss the effects of unhealthy environments on our health\nDefine environmental injustice\nDiscuss the ethical choices about our health we must make given the status of our environment’s health\nDiscuss the connection between clinical decisions and our health\nExplore samples of environmental injustice\n\nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nKeisha Ray\, PhD\, received her PhD in philosophy from the University of Utah. She is currently a tenured Associate Professor and holds the John P. McGovern\, MD Professorship of Oslerian Medicine at the McGovern Center for Humanities & Ethics at UT Health Houston\, where she also serves as the Director of the Medical Humanities Scholarly Concentration. Most of Dr. Ray’s work focuses on the effects of institutional racism on Black people’s health\, highlighting Black people’s own stories\, and the sociopolitical implications of biomedical enhancement. Her work uniquely prioritizes linguistic justice as a matter of access and commitment to public scholarship. Dr. Ray serves as an associate editor for the American Journal of Bioethics and its online site\, “Bioethics Today” as well as Senior Associate Editor for the Journal of Medical Humanities. Dr. Ray has also been elected as a Hastings Center Fellow. She has contributed to top clinical\, bioethics\, and medical humanities journals. And based on her expertise\, Dr. Ray is frequently called upon as a bioethics expert for popular news sources. Lastly\, Dr. Ray is the author of the book “Black Health: The Social\, Political\, and Cultural Determinants of Black People’s Health” with Oxford University Press.

SUMMARY:Risk and the Prospect of Benefit in Research
DESCRIPTION:Researchers must carefully balance possible risks against expected benefits to ensure ethical study design. Much has been discussed about how to determine risks of research participate and whether there are limits to how risky research can be. Less explored is how we should understand the prospect of benefit. What should count as a benefit of research participation? Who gets to decide this? Join our panel discussion and dive into the fundamental questions surrounding ethics of risk and benefit in research. \nFeaturing Panelists:  \nAaron Segal\, PhD (Assistant Professor of Bioethics\, Kansas City University) \nMegan Roberts\, PhD (Associate Professor of Health and Behavior and Health Promotion\, OSU) \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:The Penn Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy: Conflict Management Workshops
DESCRIPTION:The Penn Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy is pleased to announce the next in-person conflict management workshops: Thursday-Sunday\, Jan. 16-19\, 2025. \nThe 4-day workshop will be held at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and will run from 9:00-5:00 each day. The Penn Program in Clinical Conflict Management has offered over 150 workshops and conflict resolution seminars since the program’s launch in May 2010. \nIn this Intensive\, students will: \n\nLearn how to navigate and improve challenging clinical relationships (patient-provider\, family-provider\, inter-staff conflicts)\nLearn the techniques of facilitation among a diverse set of stakeholders\nLearn to effectively manage clinical disputes among and between caregivers\, patients and surrogates through mediation\nDiscover to how to define problems and assess underlying interests to generate mutually acceptable options\nRole-play in variety of clinical situations as both disputants and mediators\nPractice mediation with professional actors\nUse video-tapes of simulations to improve mediation techniques and strengthen interpersonal skills\nReceive constructive feedback in a supportive environment\n\nThis workshop is intended for nurses\, physicians\, clergy\, social workers\, clinical ethics consultants and members of ethics committees who face clinical ethics conflicts in their role in the healthcare system. \nDESCRIPTION: \nProfessional mediators possess a unique skill set applicable to the facilitation of difficult conversations between individuals in emotionally laden situations. An effective mediation process can generate solutions that address the underlying interests of all disputants and resolve conflicts that appear intractable. This skill set has increasingly been recognized as invaluable to the work of clinical ethics consultants as they navigate conflicts between and among patients\, families\, surrogates and providers. Moreover\, given wide-spread agreement that communication failures lie at the root of many clinical conflicts\, mediation values and catalyzes the effective communication of individual concerns\, values\, perspectives and feelings — all of which are essential to the clinical ethics consultation process. This hands-on Workshop introduces the principal techniques of mediation through the use of simulated role plays with a focus on conflicts caused by communication breakdowns\, highly charged value-conflicts\, and cultural differences. \nInstructor-Student ratio of 1:3. Space is limited. Students can earn Penn course credit or take the intensive as a workshop. Cost of the workshop is $2\,500\, which includes breakfast\, lunch and materials.  Tuition benefits can be applied for students taking it for credit.
