Dr Thalia Arawi joins Ethics Talk to discuss the rise of states of “chronic emergency,” how health care workers can be protected when working in conflict zones, and how the international community needs to move beyond declarations to support those affected by war and conflict.

Dr Rachel Ellaway joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article, coauthored Drs Lisa Graves and Tasha R. Wyatt: “How Should Professional Resistance Be Integrated Into Conceptions of Professional Accountability?”

As more students, trainees, and clinicians engage in acts of professional resistance, professional accountability is needed when such acts influence patient care.
