Pathway 4

This Pathway includes two sessions.

Session 1: Bedside Morality: Clinical Ethics for the RT

Have you ever questioned the right thing to do? Have you ever felt uncomfortable about the treatment plan of your patient? If you have, then this program is for you. The discipline of medical ethics has moved to the center stage of controversies in the wake of the Covid pandemic and the continued demand for individual autonomy. Don’t miss the opportunity to discuss controversial real issues, shocking real cases, and learn simple real applications to your moral distress and ethical concerns. Lecturer: James Damron, MDiv, RRT, CPFT

Session 2: Perceptions of Palliative Care: The RT's Role in Maximizing Quality of Life

Palliative care is an important aspect of interdisciplinary, comprehensive, patient-centered care. Effective implementation of palliative care can improve health-related quality of life of patients with advanced illnesses. This presentation will focus on the RT’s role in the interdisciplinary team providing palliative care, including clinician education, patient assessment, and implementation of effective palliative care programs. Lecturer: Shawna Strickland, PhD, RRT, FAARC

This presentation is sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Medtronic.
