This course is targeted for social workers, case managers, nurses, and counselors.
Healthcare settings present service providers with diverse patient situations and circumstances which sometimes involve ethical dilemmas. 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. A grand case study will be presented for learners to address and respond to by participating in discussion and reflection.
