The Royal College Ethics Committee (EthC) invites cases to enhance the breadth of its existing bioethics curriculum. Cases should reflect new and emerging ethical issues and challenges facing residents and Fellows practising in Canada.
Some suggested topic areas include, but are not limited to:
- the growth of transplantation/medical tourism, more particularly a physician’s obligations to provide care when patients return from abroad after receiving elective procedures in another country;
- issues surrounding the aging physician/surgeon population, including delayed retirement and concerns over employment opportunities for new Fellows;
- recruitment of patients from third world countries to participate in research studies which are not applicable within a third world context;
- protecting the aging population from unnecessary tests, investigations, procedures;
- end of life issues/euthanasia,
- ethical issues related to reproduction, including abortion/feticide;
- trauma experienced by physicians training in remote communities
- placebo controlled trials
