Best practices for diversity, equity, and inclusion for faculty members who conduct research at academic medical institutions
Purpose Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is an increasingly important focus in academic medicine. While DEI best practices are well-documented at the institutional level, they are less well described for individual faculty members, particularly for those who conduct research. Herein, we propose DEI best practices for faculty members to support: (1) supervision, mentorship, and teaching; (2) conduct/dissemination of research; and (3) develop…
The name of the game
Steering clear of Akrasia
In many jurisdictions, legal frameworks afford patients the opportunity to make prospective medical decisions or to create directives that contain a special provision forfeiting their own ability to object to those decisions at a future time point, should they lose decision‐making capacity. These agreements have been described with widely varying nomenclatures, including Ulysses Contracts, Odysseus Transfers, Psychiatric Advance Directives with U…
“What are my options?”
The aim of a theoretically ideal process of informed consent is to promote the autonomy of the patient and to limit unethical physician paternalism. However, in practice, the nature of the medical profession requires physicians to act as ontological decision architects—based on the medical knowledge that they acquire through their experience and training, physicians ontologically determine a subset of viable courses of action for their patient. W…
What Should Clinicians and Patients Know About the Clinical Gaze, Disability, and Iatrogenic Harm When Making Decisions
While clinicians, ethicists, and policymakers are increasingly aware that race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and class biases interfere with care provision, disability is not always considered as a confounding factor. This article explores the way embodiment affects personal and professional values. When patients who live with bodies others might not fully comprehend or embrace refuse-or challenge-clinical interventions, they offer real opportun…
Anxiety and depression in patients with intracranial meningioma
The findings from the present study reveal that patients with meningiomas experience a significant mental health burden, illustrating the need for enhanced patient-centred care focusing on mental health
Erosion of the ‘ethical’ doctor-patient relationship and the rise of physician burn-out
This paper examines the topic of physician burn-out from a philosophical lens. We explore the question of how the rise of physician burn-out may be related to an underlying erosion of meaning in medicine, characterised by the breakdown of the intersubjective relationship between doctors and patients. We argue that while commonly cited strategies for addressing burnout-including promoting work-life integration, cultivating workplace community, and…
The Oxford Handbook of Ethics of AI
This book explores the intertwining domains of artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics—two highly divergent fields which at first seem to have nothing to do with one another. AI is a collection of computational methods for studying human knowledge, learning, and behavior, including by building agents able to know, learn, and behave. Ethics is a body of human knowledge—far from completely understood—that helps agents (humans today, but perhaps eve…
