A look at the paradox between the rights of patients, both to choose who participates in their care and their entitlement to the best possible care, vs. the societal need to train future healthcare providers by allowing them hands-on experience.
The objectives:
- Define the ethical paradox in healthcare education.
- Apply the 4 pillars of medical ethics to the conflict of patient care and autonomy vs. social need for healthcare providers.
- Identify the negative and positive aspects to patients of hands-on patient care by trainees.
- Identify the negative and positive aspects to society of hands-on patient care by trainees.
- Identify practical ways to minimize the negative impact of healthcare education on patients, while maximizing social benefit.
