AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (2.50 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (2.50 hours)

Dr. Philip Rosoff MD and Dr. Autumn Fiester PhD will each discuss ethical challenges in healthcare when violent situations arise. There will be discussion related to bias and lack of information that may lead patients and families to lose trust in the medical institutions. End of life care and the lack of agreement for treatment that leads to conflict will also be discussed. Both speakers are well versed in teaching and handling complex ethical issues in healthcare and medical school training.

1. Describe case situations that escalated with a family member or patient related to differing opinions of medical treatment options.
2. Describe legal and cultural issues that arise related to escalations during end-of-life care.
