Why You Should Attend
As practitioners in the field of aging and long-term care, we are occasionally confronted with thorny ethical dilemmas.
- What do we do when the business needs of our employer conflict with needs of those we serve?
- How can we balance a person’s need for autonomy with our concerns for their safety?
- How do we reconcile the goals of our clients and patients with the agendas and goals of family members and caregivers?
These are just a few of the typical conflicts that professionals and practitioners encounter in their work with older adults.
Martha B. Holstein, PhD, is a nationally respected ethicist who has worked in the field of aging for over thirty years and has been conducting training in and teaching on ethics for more than twenty years.
