The AMA Code and Principles provide guidance on how to educate and counsel patients about meat consumption and about their advocacy roles in reducing meat production.

When physicians fail to model behaviors they advocate for others, trust is eroded. 

Debbie Berkowitz joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article, coauthored with Anna D. Goff, Dr Kathleen Marie Fagan, and Dr Monica L. Gerrek: "Do Clinics in Meat and Poultry Plants Endanger Workers?”

Most meat and poultry plants have on-site workplace clinics where workers are required to obtain care for work-related injuries or illnesses.

Perpetration-induced traumatic stress should be understood as present, not just posttraumatic, stress disorder because retraumatization is part of slaughterhouse workers’ jobs.

Scott Schweikart joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article: “AMA Code of Medical Ethics’ Opinions Related to Clinicians in Government.”

This summary of guidance on physicians’ interactions with governments considers their nonclinical roles, political actions, and communications.

Increased awareness of conscious and unconscious biases and structural drivers of health can increase the likelihood of upstander interventions.

Ruhee Shah joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article, coauthored with Lindsay Clark, Terence M. Hughes, Ashesh Trivedi, and Dr Leona Hess: “Medical Student-Driven Efforts to Incorporate Segregated Care Education Into Their Curriculum.”

Traditional models of medical education in the US do not teach students to problematize segregation where they train and help care for patients.
