Kala T. Pham joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article, coauthored with Dr Rachel W. Davis: “Ethics of Learning Surgical Autonomy in Safety-Net Hospital Systems With Patients Who Are Incarcerated.”

Suspected child abuse cases can be identified and repeat hospitalizations of such cases prevented using multidisciplinary teams to evaluate pediatric burns.

Safety-net hospitals care for patients who are incarcerated and are key environments in which surgical trainees learn to wield their professional autonomy.

Intergenerational trauma has deep roots, which require clinicians to understand historical and cultural context when working with vulnerable children.

How society and medicine discussed and responded to child abuse changed dramatically in 1962. Since that time, the problem’s fuller scope has been revealed.

Following evidence-based approaches to evaluating and reporting suspicion of child maltreatment can help minimize bias and promote equity.

Iatrogenic harms of so-called “zero-risk” approaches must be balanced against promoting patients’ goals of care.

Surgeons have important legal and ethical obligations to patients who are incarcerated and accompanied by carceral facility personnel.
