"Persuasion at the bedside: what can clinicians do to help patients make decisions?" Over the past 50 years, the idea that patients have the right to make decisions about their own medical care has become a, if not the, central tenet of clinical medicine. In recent years, however, a series of scholars have argued that some degree of clinician paternalism -- where the clinician intercedes in the patient's decision for the patient's own good -- is ok.
In this presentation, Assistant Professor of Philosophy Daniel Groll will explore the issues of autonomy and paternalism in clinical medicine and offer a framework for understanding the different ways we might think about the role of the clinician in a clinical encounter.
Cost: $10 (includes lunch)
Register for the luncheon online here by November 30.
