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.

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.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Public-Private Partnerships for Gene Therapies: What does the Public Get?
DESCRIPTION:Publicly-funded researchers frequently transfer their gene therapy and gene-editing medical research to venture capital-funded startups for clinical development. In tandem\, the public sector financial crisis in many countries has meant that partnerships with commercial entities are used to leverage the full potential of publicly-held genomic data. However\, public-private partnerships in the genomics translational pipeline raise several key questions. Which benefits should be returned to the public\, if any? How should products be priced? How should data be managed? Does involvement of publicly funded scientists in the commercial sector conflict with the commitment to deliver societally beneficial innovation? \nPanelists: John Conley\, JD\, PhD & Eva Winkler\, Prof\, Dr.med.\, Dr.phil. Moderator: Philip J. Brooks\, PhD.

SUMMARY:Private Equity in Health Care and Policy Options for Protecting Patients
DESCRIPTION:Private equity ownership of medical practices in the last decade has increased more than sixfold and takeovers are often associated with worse patient outcomes\, including mortality\, and increased prices.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Building a Diverse ELSI Workforce: What does this mean and how should we do it?
DESCRIPTION:Bioethics as a field was catalyzed by grave injustices such as the US Public Health Service Untreated Syphilis Study at Tuskegee. Similarly\, a major rationale for ELSI was to address the injustices perpetrated and rationalized by the growing science of human genetics. However\, bioethics and ELSI attention to justice issues\, especially those affecting marginalized populations\, has been lacking. To facilitate a stronger focus on justice\, leading bioethics and ELSI scholars have made recommendations for action\, calling for greater diversity in the bioethics/ELSI workforce\, and reinforcing bioethics education. In this session\, we will explore these recommendations in practical terms\, discuss how or if they might need to be expanded to address broader types of diversity\, and what challenges will be posed to achieving them. \nRegistration Link\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/3017319547032/WN_7B8U7viRRnWH-Gw_sBjFMg
