Global health outreach programs can risk benefitting students from resource-rich areas of the world more than the patients in resource-poor areas of the world. This month’s episode of Ethics Talk explores an alternative to academic health center-based health outreach programs.
Professor Martin Bricknell joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Professors David Whetham, Richard Sullivan, and Peter Mahoney: “How Should Access to Military Health Care Facilities Be Controlled in Conflict?”
Dr Hunter Jackson Smith joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Joseph Procaccino and Dr Megan Applewhite: “How Should Military Health Care Workers Respond When Conflict Reaches the Hospital?”
Christopher W. Reynolds joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Camilo Sánchez Meertens: “How Should Health Systems Help Clinicians Manage Bias Against Ex-combatants?”
Professor Leonard Rubenstein joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Dr Rohini Haar: “What Does Ethics Demand of Health Care Practice in Conflict Zones?”
Dr Kaarkuzhali B. Krishnamurthy joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article: “Should Physicians Be Able to Refuse to Care for Patients Insured by Medicare?”
