0032_CPMC_Pregnant, Incapacitated, and Resisting Treatments: How Should the Medical Team Proceed?_Live
Course Description
Pregnant patients require special ethical consideration, to protect their rights and bodily autonomy, and to consider the proper weight potential fetal interests have in a given situation. In light of the Dobbs decision, there is an additional sensitivity and potential distress for health care professionals around the topic of subjecting any pregnant person, especially an incapacitated one, to an experience they appear to be against. This webinar will review a challenging case to provide reflection on and guidance regarding how to fulfill our ethical obligations to patients with respect to a patient who is incapable, pregnant, and resisting recommended treatment.
