Bioethics Bootcamp_December 4, 2020
UPMC Passavant and the University of Pittsburgh Consortium Ethics Program invite you to attend an in-person clinical ethics consultation training on Friday, December 4, 2020. The Clinical Ethics Consultation Boot Camp is a one-day training to develop and improve knowledge, abilities, and skills in clinical ethics consultation. The day will provide sessions exploring basic bioethics concepts, case discussions, and ethics consultation role-playing based upon the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities Core Competencies for Healthcare Ethics Consultation. The seminar, while intended for the novice consultant, may also provide more seasoned consultants with an opportunity to refresh their knowledge base and refine their consultation skills.
The first half of the day will be didactic and topics will include an overview of ethics committees and their primary functions, principles of biomedical ethics, informed consent, surrogate decision making, advance care planning tools, Act 169 and futility. During the second half of the seminar, our faculty will facilitate ethics case discussions followed by a role-play and group debriefing.
The Boot Camp will be held at Cumberland Woods Village Conference Center on the UPMC Passavant campus. The space is large enough to allow for social distancing, but the number of participants will be limited out of an abundance of caution and to allow greater access to faculty.
