Case Studies: Considering Clinical Issues and Ethical Undertones

Abstract

Approaching clinical care in an ethical manner is a core component of providing care as an IBCLC. Sometimes however, it can be hard to figure out what the ethical response is during everyday practice. Through the lens of clinical scenarios, this presentation encourages delegates to think critically about ethical practice and raises awareness of potential inconsistencies in care and subtle ethical issues which are sometimes overlooked. Learn more about your ethical responsibilities and ways to manage ethical dilemmas in clinical practice.

“I loved GOLD so much that you’d be happy to scream it from a mountaintop! I had a lot of scheduling and time restraints so I am so thankful for this virtual option. The vast array of speakers, the convenience of watching at my leisure and ability to earn CERPs was a great benefit. I have been able to immediately apply a lot of it in my role of public health lactation support.”

Millie Goins, WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor
GOLD Lactation Online Conference Delegate
“The GOLD audience is receptive, fun, engaged and excited. I really appreciate the kinds of questions I am asked and how receptive the audience is to the kind of presentation content I provide. Very few conferences want a presenter to do the off the beaten track material I like to present. I will keep coming back as long as GOLD will have me!”

Alison K. Hazelbaker, PhD, IBCLC, FILCA, CST, RCST
GOLD Lactation Online Conference Speaker
“Having participated as a speaker at the last two GOLD Conferences has been one of the highlights of my career. The GOLD staff is one of a kind. We not only worked hard together but also had a lot of fun doing so. I have made so many friends in such a short time, not only with my GOLD contacts, but also with so many dedicated and wonderful GOLD participants.”

Dr. Frank J. Nice, RPh, DPA, CPHP
GOLD Lactation Conference Speaker
“I love the flexibility and availability of your conferences, and with my director’s hat on – the cost versus pricey travel, accommodations, etc. and the flexibility for attendance with people’s busy schedules has been awesome. I think it’s a great model and you have perfected the technology to have it run off well.”

Suzanne H. Campbell, PhD, RN, IBCLC
Director and Associate Professor
School of Nursing. The University of British Columbia
“Getting education out to people who can't manage to travel to distant locations or take time off work, or afford the childcare fees they would incur if they had to attend in person, is so important and the difference these GOLD conferences make is invaluable. I have minimal computer skills but the format for attending makes it so easy for me to enjoy the benefits of the conferences.”
