Medical Ethics CME

Navigate ethical challenges in patient care, clinical decision-making, and professional accountability. Topics include end-of-life care, healthcare disparities, confidentiality, and disclosure of medical errors. Relevant for providers in all specialties, this collection was curated to ensure fair, just, and patient-centered practices while reinforcing the principles of dignity and respect in the healthcare community.

Notable disparities are present both with regard to individuals in the healthcare profession as well as in the delivery of healthcare to the patient population. Increasing awareness of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion is important for expanding access to high quality healthcare.

This presentation will be designed to introduce the audience to an important national level dialogue on the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additionally, this topic will be tailored to understanding how DEI relates to healthcare practice and note specific steps the profession is taking to improve DEI at an organizational level.
