SUMMARY:Ethics Grand Rounds: "Why They Blow the Whistle: Exposing Abuses in Medical Research"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elliot is professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota. He attended Davidson College\, the Medical University of South Carolina and Glasgow University in Scotland. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar Award\, the Cary and Ann Maguire Chair in Ethics and American History at the Library of Congress\, a resident fellowship at the Rockefeller Center in Bellagio\, Italy\, and a Weatherhead Fellowship at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. In addition to his faculty position at the University of Minnesota\, Elliott is an affiliate faculty member in the Bioethics Center at the University of Otago in New Zealand\, where he previously completed a postdoctoral position. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Review of Books\, The New York Times\, Mother Jones and American Scholar. \nTalk Description: In popular culture\, whilstleblowers are conscience-driven heroes who triumph against the odds. Yet when research abuse occur\, medical institutions deny wrongdoing even when it is glaringly obvious\, and rarely do mistreated research subjects or their families get any real justice. Whistleblowing is the exception\, not the rule. In many scandles\, doctors and other staff members remain silent for years while unwitting research subjects are abused. If abuses do come to light\, the researchers are usually protected by the medical establishment while the whistleblowers are punished.

SUMMARY:The ELSI of Social Epigenetics
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 9 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT for then next ELSI Friday Forum: The ELSI of Social Epigenetics with speakers Michael S. Kobor\, PhD\, Erika A. Waters\, PhD\, MPH\, and Martine Lappé\, PhD.  \nAt the molecular level\, social epigenetics elucidates the impacts of exposure to environmental pollutants\, childhood adversity\, and discrimination on the human body. In turn\, it also offers insight into the biological mechanisms that determine how structural forces\, such as environmental policy or exposure to violence\, impact individual health across generations. However\, social epigenetics also has the potential to reinforce logics of genetic determinism and biological racism. On top of this\, it has the complex job of disentangling the causal mechanisms at play when determining how and why exposure to one pollutant or type of experience has specific outcomes when others do not. There are also a myriad of questions about how best to translate this work into public health\, policy\, and clinical care. This session will address how ELSI research of social epigenetics can address these issues and make social epigenetics more impactful.

SUMMARY:A Great Friendship: The Evolution of the Government-University Science Partnership in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Join us for May Ethics Grand Rounds on the history of federal funding of university-based research in the U.S. featuring Jonathan Engel\, PhD\, Senior Lecturer in Health Policy and Management\, and moderated by Sandra Soo-Jin Lee\, PhD\, Chief of the Division of Ethics. \nAbstract: The United States developed relationships with its research universities during World War II which produced the Manhattan Project (U. of California) and the Rad Lab (MIT)\, among others. In the years after the war\, these relationships were enhanced and enlarged through the creation of the Atomic Energy Commission\, the Office of Naval Research\, the National Institutes of Health\, and the National Science Foundation. These government-university relationships have been enormously fruitful for a variety of reasons. In this Grand Rounds\, we will explore the unusual nature of these relationships and discuss the future of science funding in the United States.

SUMMARY:What Would You Want? Navigating Life\, Death\, and Organ Donation When the Heart Stops
DESCRIPTION:Donation after circulatory death (DCD) is one of the most promising methods for expanding the organ pool for transplantation. Yet realizing the promise of DCD depends on careful coordination of end-of-life treatment with organ donation authorization\, organ preservation\, and recovery. We will discuss ethical and legal considerations in prioritizing goals of care while also optimizing DCD in light of technical challenges\, technological innovation\, and the sociopolitical landscape of organ donation. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the legal frameworks which guide surrogate decision making at the end of life for both clinical treatment and for organ donation.\nAppreciate the ethical challenge of prioritizing end of life clinical treatment decisions while also optimizing organ donation after circulatory death.\nRecognize potential paths toward improving communication and maintaining trust in the context of controlled donation after circulatory death.\n\nAbout the Series\nUnpacking Bedside Bioethics is a quarterly professional development clinical ethics webinar series delivered by the Center for Bioethics. Speakers identify ethical dilemmas in clinical cases\, and discuss how to apply bioethical concepts and frameworks to navigate those dilemmas. \nUpon request\, Zoom attendees will receive a Certificate of Attendance to apply for Continuing Education Units for their respective professions. We are not able to offer CEUs directly to attendees. Please note\, you must attend a minimum of 75% of the talk to receive a certificate. Each talk will be recorded & posted with our other event recordings. Certificates of Attendance will not be given for watching the recording – only for those attending the Zoom session. \nHealth professions students are eligible for IPE credit. IPE credit is available only to webinar attendees who are present for 75% or more of the talk\, participate in a short IPE breakout session immediately following the talk\, and complete a written reflection form following that breakout session. \nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nBrendan Parent\, JD\, is an associate professor and director of transplant ethics and policy research in the division of medical ethics with joint appointment in surgery at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

SUMMARY:Mediation Intensive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Penn Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy is pleased to announce the next in-person conflict management workshops: Thursday-Sunday\, May 29-June 1\, 2025. \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. \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\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. \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 \nStacey Smith\, MSN\, MA\, MSL\, HEC-c  |  Lead Healthcare Ethicist\, National Center for Ethics in Healthcare \nMary Walton\, MBE\, MSN\, HEC-c   |  Emeritus Director\, Clinical Ethics Consult Service\, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania \nFor more information\, contact: fiester@upenn.edu
