Analysing the potential of clinical ethics consultations for surgical education: a thematic and contextual analysis
Ethical issues faced by surgical residents are often unrelated to primary surgical concerns. Despite the importance of ethical decision-making training in medical education, residents participated in less than half of clinical ethics consultations. Surgical faculty should involve residents in interdisciplinary discussions and clinical ethics consultations to increase awareness. Surgical curricula should incorporate resources to improve ethics-related decision-making skills.
