The “Value” of Clinical Ethics: Isn’t it Obvious? - Jeanne Wirpsa
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
The Master of Arts in Medical Humanities & Bioethics Program
Presents
A Montgomery Lecture
With
M. Jeanne Wirpsa, MA, BCC, HEC-C
Medical Ethics Program Director, Northwestern Memorial Hospital
Faculty, MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics,
University of Chicago Medical Center
Faculty, McGaw Bioethics Scholars Program,
NU Center for Bioethics & Medical Humanities
The Value of Clinical Ethics: Isn t it Obvious?
As healthcare organizations navigate the vicissitudes of market forces, clinical ethics faces increased pressure to demonstrate value-added to the organization. If clinical ethicists do not create our own outcome metrics, we risk having these imposed on us in ways that threaten the very soul of the profession. This talk presents a multi-pronged approach by one medical ethics program to answer the question that continues to vex our profession: How do we demonstrate value to those who pay for our service, as well as to those whom the service is intended to serve ? (ASBH, Core Competencies for Healthcare Ethics Consultation, 2011, 34). In considering outcome metrics, we sought to balance accountability to external priorities identified by the organization such as mortality, length of stay, and staff retention with goods that we perceived preserved the intrinsic aims and value of clinical ethics itself such as promoting value-sensitive care and creating ethical climate. The speaker hopes to engage leaders of bioethics and medical humanities programs who undoubtedly face similar questions about what their curriculum adds to the formation of medical professionals.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.

A Montgomery Lecture

Faculty, Medical Humanities & Bioethics Graduate Program
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Twenty(ish) Years of Medical Improv: Origins, Establishment,
and Next Steps
Professor Watson created and taught what is believed to be the first medical improv class in 2002, in 2011 she coined the term medical improv in her Academic Medicine article reporting FSM student response to the method, and in 2013 she began a summer train-the-trainer program which led to the dissemination of her FSM medical improv curriculum to over 300 clinicians and teachers across healthcare disciplines and countries. In this lecture she will use this example of creation and dissemination to reflect on lessons she s learned about medical communication, medical humanities teaching in general, curriculum creation as an intellectual and creative endeavor, and the challenges of meeting the needs of both new learners and aging professors.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.

Against Our Will: Protest and Resistance in Eating Disorder Discourse - Alice Weinreb
Chicago - 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
The Master of Arts in Medical Humanities & Bioethics Program
Presents
A Montgomery Lecture
With
Alice Weinreb, PhD
Associate Professor of History
Loyola University, Chicago
Against Our Will:
Protest and Resistance in Eating Disorder Discourse
This talk focuses on the ways in which eating disorders, especially anorexia nervosa, were constructed as sites of resistance during the 1970s and 1980s. I explore claims that anorexia nervosa was a variant of hunger strike and thus a form of political protest. I then examine medical writing about anorexic patients as uniquely resistant to treatment, suggesting that the politicization of anorexia impacted not only popular understandings of the sickness but treatment modalities, with far-reaching implications for bioethical debates over forced feeding and coerced treatment for mental illnesses.
This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.
