"Speaker: Michelle Mullen, Bioethicist, CHEO, Ottawa, ON
Evidence demonstrates that newcomers, among other potentially identifiable persons, may experience negative encounters in the Canadian health care system. This contributes to heath outcomes such that health status may actually worsen after taking up residence in Canada. Structural factors including ethnocentricity, racism and poor understanding of cultures and cultural safety contribute and can give rise to ethical concerns. This interactive learning experience utilizes a case-based approach to demonstrate the potential breadth of concerns that may arise. An ethic rubric will be applied to cases to promote the recognition of these ethical considerations, and, to inform their culturally and ethically appropriate management.
Objectives:
Understand structural factors including ethnocentricity and racism which may impact ethical professional practice and newcomer experiences of the Canadian health care system
Appreciate the range of these ethical issues utilizing a case based approach
Apply an ethics rubric to direct best professional practice in the management of these concerns
As this is a workshop, please be prepared to be active and participating in this session."
