| Abstract |
"Aimed at second- and third-year ethics courses offered out of medical schools, health sciences departments, and nursing programs, Doing Right: A Practical Guide to Ethics for Medical Trainees is a practical guide to analyzing and resolving the ethical dilemmas medical practitioners face on a day-to-day basis. Drawing extensively on real-life scenarios, this book takes a case-based approach to provide students and practitioners with the advice and skills they need to help their patients and overcome ethical challenges in the field. Newly co-authored by Wayne Rosen and fully revised and updated to include up-to-date coverage of such important topics as the impact of digital technology and social media, Medical Assistance in Dying legislation, this fourth edition of Doing Right will provide readers with the most up-to-date guidebook to medical ethics available."-- Provided by publisher. |
