- Breakout Session
- Faith Hall 301 C/F
- March 23 2018 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
There isn’t any guidance available in the literature on the clinical ethical challenges doctors face working in remote areas in developing countries where resources are extremely limited but the needs are almost unlimited. This lecture, using real-life examples, will examine the practical application of the ethical principles of non-malfeasance, benevolence, autonomy and justice in these difficult situations. It will guide you through challenging decisions
as you serve in short-term or long-term missions.
Objectives
1. Articulate the type of ethical issues you could face in a missionary medical practice.
2. Apply one of the four major ethical principles in resource-limited situations.
