CLASS 1

Ethical Considerations of Self-Determination in Medical Settings

Medical settings present service providers with diverse patient situations and circumstances which sometimes involve ethical dilemmas. Understanding the role of ethics, law, policy, and personal values is essential to making sound ethical decisions that involve patients. Physicians, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare providers benefit from discussion around ethics and self-determination.

Learners will gain an overview of key social work ethical principles and frameworks. Specific ethical dilemmas in medical settings will be introduced for learners to critically analyze through case studies, including decisional capacity, competence, cultural factors, and autonomy. Participants will be encouraged to use critical thinking skills, ethical principles, and ethical decision-making models to arrive at best practice decisions regarding medical self-determination cases. Grand case studies will be presented for learners to address and respond to by participating in discussion and reflection.

3 Hours

CLASS 2

Ethical Considerations in Hospice and End of Life

Mental health and healthcare professionals play a critical role in supporting patients and families during hospice care and end-of-life. This training will explore the responsibility of the professional in understanding various ethical standards and how they relate to end-of-life (EOL) care. Ethical considerations and their impacts are discussed, as well as identification of when decision-making ability may be compromised. Cultural considerations and recommendations to enhance cultural competence will be detailed. Case vignettes and video clips will encourage critical thinking and explore the nuanced factors present in EOL care. The goal of this course is to provide any helping professional hospice with knowledge of ethics related to EOL care. This course is appropriate for social workers, counselors, therapists, physicians, nurses, clergy, and any other professionals that serve people at the end of life.
