Dr Helen Stanton Chapple joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article: "Solidarity in Mortal Time.”

Dr Helen Stanton Chapple joins Ethics Talk to talk about teaching health professions students and trainees about acknowledging and realizing dying in a healthy way.

Virtual Mentor issue editor Sophia Cedola, a medical student at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, interviewed Dr. Craig Blinderman about talking with patients who are terminally ill, asking him whether there are some key “do’s” and “don’ts” for having end-of-life conversations with patients and their families.

Grayson Holt joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Dr Johanna Glaser: “Why Is Hospice One of the Few Health Care Environments Structured for Peace?”

Legal inconsistencies and variation in end-of-life options generate disparities in care for unrepresented patients.

Racial and ethnic inequity exists throughout the lifespan, including at the end of life.

In hospice settings, structures and spaces of caregiving must promote peace. How could peace design be applied to more health care settings?

For dying patients and their loved ones to make informed decisions, physicians must share adequate information about prognoses, prospective benefits and harms of specific interventions, and costs.

The concept of mortal time is useful for exploring how hospice care frameworks might help nonhospice clinicians find calm in practice.

Current evidence suggests how hospice and palliative care clinicians can help advocate for high-quality, end-of-life care for patients with obesity.
