Ethicists Challenged to Respond to Physicians’ Inappropriate Behavior

Charles E. Binkley, MD, director of bioethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, quoted on Relias Media.

Ethicists can facilitate physicians obtaining emotional intelligence training or some sort of counseling, with regular check-ins. Ethicists also can give input on disruptive behavior policies. “When behavior is unduly influencing decision-making, you want to be sure that principles of justice, nonmaleficence, and beneficence are being followed,” Binkley says.
