Ethics Education in Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine in the United StatesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Neonatology is one of the specialties that has immensely benefited from advances in medical technology in the last few decades. These advances have paralleled the rise of the civil rights movements and wider recognition of individual rights. As a result, ethical decision-making has become more complex, involving patients, parents, members of the health care team, and society in general. This has created a need for formal ethics education in neonatal-perinatal medicine fellowship programs. In this article, we briefly explore the current published data on ethics education in pediatric residency and neonatal-perinatal medicin...

In an era where the buzz term “patient-centered medical home” commands significant attention in medical and political arenas, now greater than ever is the importance of recognizing the vital role that the primary care team plays in caring for the patient with cancer. Over the past decades, our role as primary care physicians (PCPs) has progressed. Earlier, we simply preached cancer prevention and followed clinical guidelines to prompt early cancer screening and diagnosis, referring our patients with cancer to specialists, with the result that we often “lost track” of them and left their final stages of health care ...

Second, training was defined by an arbitrary, nonvalidated list of "key content areas" that excluded much of the standard medical curricula for nurses and physicians to prescribe. Third, the levels of training for which the "key content areas"...
