SUMMARY:Health Care Ethics: Catholic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Care of the sick and dying has always been a core Christian ministry. For much of the past two millennia\, the local hospice or clinic run by Catholic sisters was the only health care facility in town. Today\, many hospitals\, ambulance services\, rehabilitation clinics\, and nursing homes continue to be affiliated with the Catholic church. In this seminar we will explore the values\, tenets and principles that shape 21st century Catholic health care. In addition\, we will discuss whether and how these same principles can also enhance the care offered in secular institutions..

SUMMARY:Ethical Disobedience: Harm\, Futility\, and the Slow Code
DESCRIPTION:This session will examine the ethical status of slow codes — resuscitation attempts intentionally performed without genuine effort — in cases where CPR is futile or medically inappropriate but where implementing a DNAR order is challenging or conflict-ridden. Clinicians in such situations face a moral trilemma: perform harmful interventions\, unilaterally refuse care\, or perform a slow code. None of these is particularly ethically attractive. We will survey the longstanding bioethics consensus condemning slow codes and evaluate the arguments for and against that position. We will then consider whether slow codes might be justified as a form of ethical disobedience against legislative and judicial overreach that compels harmful care. Finally\, we will critically examine claims that time-limited trials of futile CPR represent an ethically acceptable compromise.

SUMMARY:Mediation Intensive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The 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\,600\, which includes breakfast\, lunch and materials. Tuition benefits can be applied for students taking it for Penn credit. \nWorkshop Instructors: \nAutumn Fiester\, PhD | Director\, Penn Program in Clinical Conflict Management; Associate Chair for Education \nAliza Narva\, JD\, MSN\, HEC-c | Director\, Clinical Ethics Consult Service\, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania \nStacy Smith\, PhD\, MA\, MLS\, HEC-c | Instructor\, Penn Program in Clinical Conflict Management \nMary Walton\, MBE\, MSN\, HEC-c | Emeritus Director\, Clinical Ethics Consult Service\, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania

SUMMARY:Ethics Educators Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Building forth on the Ethics Education Program of UNESCO\, this workshop is designed to enhance the educational skills and abilities of ethics teachers. We explicitly invite academics who soon will start\, or have just started\, teaching ethics. However\, experience has shown that very senior ethics educators also find this workshop to be very stimulating and helpful.

SUMMARY:Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Contributions from the Arts and Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Care for the dying and their loved ones is a most rewarding but also challenging endeavor. Such care can evoke complex moral questions that often defy standard methods of ethical analysis. In this seminar\, we enter into dialogue with the arts and humanities to gain new insights about the human condition\, find meaning in the final phase of life\, and achieve a truly dignified death.
