Health Care Ethics Seminar Offered in April

Friday, 12 March 2010 08:17

As we provide care for persons who are aged, impaired, or institutionalized and members of their families, how do we address the ethical issues around personal autonomy? Informed consent? Human dignity? Futile treatment? Intervention? In April, the Oates Institute is offering an ethics seminar on Human Values and Health Care that focuses on these issues.
This seminar helps professional care givers prepare to address ethical questions being raised by patients and their family members.The seminar engages participants in reflective dialogue around presentations by biomedical ethicist Dr. Paul Simmons, medical ethicist and neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Sexton, and nursing professor Dr. Kay Roberts.

During the three week seminar participants will review weekly presentations and participate in reflective peer group dialogue. Through this process participants benefit by learning from each other as well as from the presentations and self-reflection.

This seminar is limited to 12 participants and offers 12 contact hours of continuing education for ministers, counselors, chaplains, and social workers. To qualify for the CEUs participants are expected to read the presentations and participate in the email discussion by contributing at least 2 email messages per week. One message is to reflect on the presentations or case studies in light of one's personal experience and context and the second is to respond to someone else’s reflection or inquiry.

Members of the Oates Institute may register for free; others may register for only $60.
