In the modern practice of medicine, new challenges complicate
the ethical care of patients. Today's times require a contemporary
take on the concept of medical ethics. The idea for this textbook
was born out of a need for a teaching resource that merges medical
ethics theory with the practical needs of modern clinical medicine.
In Evidence-Based Medical Ethics: Cases for Practice-Based
Learning, the authors address what has been missing in existing
text books and ethics courses to date - clear-cut ethical and legal
guidelines that provide a method for the reader to learn how to
systematically manage dilemmas seen in the everyday practice of
medicine. The reader is guided through several "typical" patient
scenarios and prompted by various questions that should be
entertained by the treating health care provider. Then, relevant
evidence-based medicine, legal precedent, and the ethical theory
that applies to the situation are revealed. Often, finding the
"best" ethical solution for each problem is automatic, as the
solution often becomes self-evident during information-gathering.
This general method is reinforced throughout the text with multiple
different cases, using a practice-based approach by building on the
reader's developing skills. Additionally, we have sought to
emphasize a culturally competent manner in resolving these
dilemmas, respectfully addressing issues of age, gender, and
culture whenever possible. The main goal of Evidence-Based Medical
Ethics: Cases for Practice-Bases Learning is to assist the reader
in adapting a patient-centered and evidence-based approach to
dilemmas faced in their future practice of medicine.
