ForwardConversations in Ethics: Patient Capacity
April 30th Conversations in Ethics lecture series welcomes Paul S. Appelbaum, M.D., Professor from Columbia University.
Dr. Appelbaum will delve into the complexities surrounding patient capacity, a crucial concept in both clinical psychiatry and medical ethics. He will explore how mental health professionals assess a patient's ability to make informed decisions about their care, and how these assessments impact medical and ethical decision-making. Topics may include legal standards for determining capacity, challenges in evaluating it, and the ethical implications of capacity assessments in different clinical settings.
This lecture will be valuable for healthcare professionals, ethicists, and anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and medical decision-making. Dr. Appelbaum’s expertise will offer deep insights into how the legal, ethical, and clinical dimensions of patient autonomy and decision-making intersect.
