Building in Ethics
Case Consultation
Ethics consultation is
often done but seldom taught or evaluated. It is our objective at the
Neiswanger Institute to create materials to help persons conducting clinical
consults refine their skills.
 The
links below provide a variety of materials to assist you in this
effort. We have two audio power point presentations with narration that: (1)
provide an overview of what we know about ethics case consultation in the
United States, and (2) give an overview of how to conduct an ethics
consultation and how to evaluate your efforts. We also provide links
to videos of four cases that we recorded during a recent course involving
simulated ethics case consultations.
These consultations are not meant
to be model consultations but show student consultants doing their best to
mediate an ethical conflict. We suggest that you use the evaluation template
we have developed to rate what you think the consultants did well and what
needs improvement. If you conduct consultations in your health
system, you
might consider using this
template with your colleagues as a way to give and receive feedback. In the coming months,
we hope to be adding some commentaries on each case by seasoned ethics
consultants so that you might compare how you evaluated the consultants to
other experienced consultants.
We
do not claim that you will be en expert health care ethics consultant by
reviewing the materials on this site. But, many persons with little training
regarding their process skills are, in fact, conducting ethics case
consultation in health care institutions. We believe that the kind of
materials provided can help them to refine and develop the process skills.
