Clinical Ethics Consultation During the COVID-19 Pandemic

As the one-year anniversary of the COVID pandemic approaches, each of us continue to deal with it personally and professionally. In this work in progress, I will explore how the practice of ethics consultation in a large urban academic medical center was impacted. As clinical ethicists were facing dynamic circumstances, evolving understanding of the disease process, and unprecedented resource scarcities, their roles expanded and were also limited. What can we learn? I will draw on my experience as a psychologist and clinical ethics consultant with over 20 years of experience who moved to New York City about six weeks before the COVID-19 surge hit the region.
