Practical Bioethics for the Humanitarian Surgeon: The Development, Implementation and Assessment of an Ethics Curriculum for Residents Participating in Humanitarian Missions.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Humanitarian surgeons face many ethical challenges. Despite increasing resident participation during humanitarian activities, minimal literature exists describing premission ethics training. METHODS:A systematic literature review was conducted to identify publications on humanitarian surgery. A 3-tiered review was performed assessing for ethical conflicts and guidelines. A Humanitarian Ethics Curriculum (HEC) was developed based on these findings and administered to residents prior to a humanitarian mission. Postmission essays were assigned to describe an ethical dilemma they encountered. The HEC's value was evaluated by identifying the ACGME core competencies represented in the essays. RESULTS:49 eligible publications were identified. Several areas of consensus were found. Controversies identified included: trainee involvement, surgical innovation, and operating on patients with dismal prognosis. All residents stated that the HEC was vital. 61% of ethical dilemmas involved surgical patients. Core competencies emphasized included systems-based practice, patient care, professionalism, interpersonal/communication skills, and medical knowledge. CONCLUSIONS:There is consensus regarding ethical principles that surgeons should follow during humanitarian activities. However, areas of controversy persist. Premission HEC should be administered to residents participating in humanitarian missions.
