Beyond Microethics: Advanced Clinical Ethics and Mindfulness
The concept of Microethics; or, “the ethics of everyday clinical practice” has recently been excavated in the bioethics literature. In this talk, I will be discussing my concept of “advanced clinical ethics” which intends to probe more deeply into the rich texture of exemplary, everyday ethical patient care. We will examine the limits of rational thought in these interactions and discuss how mindfulness concepts might assist advanced clinical ethics.
