SUMMARY:Conflict management workshops at Penn
DESCRIPTION:The Penn Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy is pleased to announce our next 2 in-person conflict management workshops: Thursday-Sunday August 14-17\, 2025 and Thursday-Sunday September 11-14\, 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:To Suffer What We Can't Evade: What is Medicine’s Role in Responding to Suffering?
DESCRIPTION:In medicine\, suffering matters: encountering suffering and helping patients cope with\, and navigate through suffering\, are key functions of healthcare. In addition\, the concept of suffering plays an important role in many high-stake areas of medical ethics including medical aid-in-dying and/or euthanasia\, moral distress/burnout\, and policies addressing “futility\,” or medically-ineffective treatment. Yet for all its gravity and salience\, the concept of suffering is underdetermined. In this webinar\, I will briefly survey the history of “suffering” in American biomedicine. Then\, I will discuss my own research on suffering and offer recommendations on how clinicians and bioethicists can [1] think more clearly about suffering\,  [2] respond to suffering ethically\, and [3] accompany patients well along the road of suffering and illness. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nReview theories of suffering in medicine and bioethics.\nDiscuss the two kinds of suffering: suffering undergone\, and suffering experienced.\nAnalyze the ethics of suffering: what can suffering justify?\nConsider humanistic ways of engaging suffering: can suffering be healed?\n\nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nTyler Tate\, MD\, MA\, is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University\, where he works as a pediatrician\, palliative care physician\, writer\, and ethicist. Dr. Tate’s scholarly interests include suffering and flourishing\, love and emotions\, religion and bioethics\, narrative medicine\, and pediatric ethics. He practices pediatric palliative care and serves as a clinical ethicist at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. He is also core faculty in the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics (SCBE). Prior to going to Stanford he was an assistant professor at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in Portland\, Oregon where he practiced both adult and pediatric palliative care. In 2024\, he received a Hastings Center Cunniff-Dixon Early-Career Physician Award and was named a Greenwall Foundation Faculty Scholar. He completed his pediatric residency\, clinical ethics fellowship\, and master’s degree in bioethics at the University of Washington in Seattle\, WA\, and his palliative care fellowship at Duke University in Durham\, NC.
