On Call Audio Conference - Speaking Up for Yourself and Your Patients

Friday, May 15, 2009
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Time

You've witnessed a patient receiving care that isn't optimal.
You want to say something.
But how?

In this call, sociologist Parker Palmer, Dartmouth Medical School Professor Paul Batalden, medical student Emma Samelson-Jones, and former ACGME executive director David Leach discuss the role of truth-telling and moral agency in health care.

You'll learn:
• How a failure to speak up can lead to tragic outcomes
• Ways to respond when you see something going wrong
• How to cultivate the self-awareness and courage required to speak up
• How to engage your advisors and peers in an ongoing conversation around these issues
