Ethical Challenges of Physician Executives

Course Description

How much treatment is too much when a patient is terminally ill? What is a physician's obligation when the mother of a critically ill child refuses consent for a recommended treatment? When an HIV patient practices risky behavior, how do you balance the patient's right to privacy against public welfare? How should organizational resources be responsibly managed, especially when a healthcare organization is facing serious financial challenges?

As a physician executive, are you equipped to deal with today's complex and perplexing ethical issues? This program will help you take a leadership role in developing processes for resolving ethical issues facing physicians, patients and their families.

Highlights include:

  • Building ethics into your organization's organizational culture, especially its policies and procedures.
  • Preventing and managing ethical conflicts at the bedside.
  • Responsibly managing your organization's resources.
  • Responding to patients' refusals of needed medical interventions.
  • Setting ethically justified limits on individual and organizational self-sacrifice.
  • Invoking futility to set ethically justified limits on end-of-life care.
  • Putting your institution to the test: gauging its commitment to ethics.

Objectives

  • To demonstrate familiarity with basic concepts of bioethics, such as professional virtues, beneficence, respect for autonomy, justice, the fiduciary nature of the medical profession, and preventive ethics.

  • To demonstrate ability to apply basic concepts in a preventive ethics approach to both clinical cases and cases in institutional management.

  • To take a leadership role in framing and monitoring the ethics of one's institution.
