Friends,
I have a keen interest (and decent background) in Clinical Ethics and Ethics in Healthcare Administration. I have applied for a Psych training for this years match (2008). I was wondering if anyone may have information on 'Ethics Fellowship'?
Thanks.,
Wichitan

University of Chicago has one:

I know University of Pennsylvania has a Master's of Bioethics program, but I don't know if they have any fellowships.

I think Harvard also has a clinical ethics fellowship (at least they did in the past.)

Forensics fellowship is not solely focused on ethics but a component of it is.

What's the difference between ethics and morals, anyways? Anyone?

Since this thread is already here.... besides those few fellowships that have been posted... what are the pathways to get into biomedical ethics?

I've planned on trying to work my way into the institutinal ethics committee when I start residency. But what types of formal training can I obtain. Anyone know anything about graduate degrees in philosophy and bioethics?

I was hoping Id find more post-MD fellowships in this field

Ethics consist of a systematized methodology of making decisions.
Morals are a personal value system, often based on religion/culture.

Ethics are more related to the ego, and morals to the superego.

examples:
morals: beliefs that adultery or abortion is wrong

ethics: using principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence to make medical decisions.

I do... and I mean a post-residency fellowship. Or a post-fellowship fellowship.

Besides the social workers and chaplains on the ethics committee, there are physicians.....

My interest in psychiatry (yeah that too) has always been closely related to ethical issues, end-of-life, autonomy, patient advocacy and rights. Even though Im moving on from the psych thing... I'd still like to be able to work with these issues.

Are you going to be one of those who call psychiatry for a capacity consult on a patient who refuses a procedure towards the end of his life and yet has no psychiatric symptoms for this consult?

 

[michaelrack]

The theory of ethics is more interesting than practical ethics. In reality, a lot of time on an ethics consult rotation is spent trying to figure out what someone with a trach and on lots of sedatives is trying to say.

Good luck in your training, Wichitan

Never! I will be one of those who advocates for patients who do have a psych history to retain their right to refuse treatment, if they can make sound decisions.

And if you must know, Im one of those oddballs who thinks that Existential Psychiatry can work.
