Barriers Facing Undocumented Medical Students Without Daca
Despite predictions that the United States will experience a growing physician shortage in the coming decades, there remains a population of would-be clinicians who are barred from becoming licensed physicians because of their immigration status. Undocumented medical students who do not have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status have to overcome many barriers to gain admittance to medical school, but because they lack work authoriz…
How Should History of Physician Involvement in the Holocaust Inform How Physicians Approach Employers
In response to a case involving an advertisement for a physician to work in a private detention center housing asylum seekers and immigrants, this commentary considers ethical obligations of physicians responsible for detainees' health care. The commentary also suggests key points a physician should make during a job interview at a detention center and concerns a physician might articulate about caregiving practices for detainees
Addressing Systemic Health Inequities Involving Undocumented Youth in the United States
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has dramatically improved the lives of undocumented youth in the United States. In particular, DACA has improved these young adults' health by improving the social determinants of health. Furthermore, as health professionals, DACA recipients increase the diversity of medicine and the health professions and are thereby suited and well positioned to promote health equity. The medical profess…
Good Sanctuary Doctoring for Undocumented Patients
Clinicians whose practice includes a significant immigrant population report a climate of fear adversely affecting their current patients. Increased immigration enforcement targeting undocumented immigrants increases these patients' stress and negatively affects their willingness to seek medical care. To address these concerns, this article draws upon the literature and the authors' experience to develop guidance on sanctuary doctoring. These mat…
Against Consent Form Language Requiring Multiple or Specific Methods of Contraception
Ending Daca Has Pragmatic and Ethical Implications for U.S. Health Care
In 2012, Loyola University Chicago's Stritch School of Medicine became the first medical school in the United States to actively recruit and accept undocumented immigrants who received protections granted under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that was established by presidential memorandum. By 2016, sixty‐one medical schools were considering applications from DACA recipients for admission, and more than 110 students applied. Ac…
How Medicine May Save the Life of US Immigration Policy
Medicine has a conceptual contribution to make to the immigration debate. Our nation has been unable to move forward with meaningful immigration reform because many citizens seem to assume that immigrants are in the United States to access benefits to which they are not entitled. In contrast, when medicine encounters undocumented immigrants in the health care or medical education setting, it is obvious that their contributions to our health care …
Equity for “DREAMers” in Medical School Admissions
Where We Are and How We Got Here In the autumn of 2012, the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine became the first medical school in the nation to amend its admissions policy to welcome applications from "DREAMers"-undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, i.e., prior to the age of 16, and have been raised and educated in the United States for more than five years-who have "DACA" (Deferred Action fo…
Medical Students and Rights Campaigns
Case Bill, a third-year medical student, had just started his internal medicine clerkship rotation. Seriously considering a career in primary care medicine, Bill was eager to be exposed to as many clinical scenarios as possible during this two-month rotation
Medical Education as Mission
In October 2012, the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine amended its eligibility requirements for admission. In addition to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, persons who qualify for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service are now eligible for admission. Simply put, we extended the educational opportunity of medical school to people who are in a particular ca…
Quality Attestation for Clinical Ethics Consultants
Clinical ethics consultation is largely outside the scope of regulation and oversight, despite its importance. For decades, the bioethics community has been unable to reach a consensus on whether there should be accountability in this work, as there is for other clinical activities that influence the care of patients. The American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, the primary society of bioethicists and scholars in the medical humanities and …

The common morality in communitarian thought
The First Bioethicist
The Letter and Spirit of a Directive [1]
Case An 83 year-old woman, Mrs. U, was admitted to the hospital from a personal care home due to a stroke with left-sided weakness and aphasia. She had a history of Parkinson's disease, coronary artery disease, and a prior stroke several years ago. The day after admission she was seen by a neurologist who noted dysarthria (ie, problems of speech articulation due to muscular control disturbance) and a severely diminished gag reflex. She was not am…
The Decision Dynamics of Clinical Research
This article explores the neglected dimensions of informed consent. In such documents as the Code of Federal Regulations that govern clinical research, it is explicitly stated that informed consent is a process, not a form to be signed. However, virtually all research on informed consent has proceeded as if informed consent is an event similar to a Miranda warning. The authors review what is known about the process of informed consent and ask wha…
Childress's Greatest Hits
Reconceiving the Family
First, I must critique the traditional doctrine of informed\nconsent and show how it has "hijacked" what questions can be asked about the\nrole of the family. By examining the doctrine's major assumptions and fixing\nthe limits of its application, we can find room for the family in situations\nwhere such legalistic thought is inappropriate. Second, I shall explain how\nseveral promising "process" models of informed consent better describe the\nro…
