Navigating when to intervene against parents’ wishes is a difficult task in pediatrics. Different frameworks have been proposed, but disagreements remain. One problem debated about in pediatric intervention principles often refer to different kinds of interventions (e.g. calling Child Protective Services, consulting the Ethics Committee). This project reports results of a critical scoping review of recent bioethics literature about the concept of pediatric intervention principles.

Between an adult patient and physician they are the only two people that have a say in the patient’s medical treatment with the patient having the final say. In pediatrics, there is a patient, parent, and physician which adds a third party that is a proxy decision maker for the child but lacks absolute authority over the child’s treatment. The goal of this study is to give a sense of the diversity of the pediatric ethics literature regarding parent/physician disagreements and to address ambiguities about pediatric interventions.

The four principles of bioethics described by Beauchamp and Childress are beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and autonomy. Two definitions of autonomy are very commonly used: rational autonomy, which refers to a patient making decisions based on their own beliefs and customs, and relational autonomy, which refers to shared decision making with the input of a patient’s close trusted individuals. Beauchamp and Childress described autonomous actions as those with intention, understanding, and lack of controlling factors. A fourth component that is sometimes included is authenticity, or making decisions true to one’s self. The primary goal of this study is to determine whether …

The Best Interest Standard (BIS) has been a much-debated guidance principle in clinical ethics with ambiguous definition and application. In this study we focus on the conceptions of best interests that differ according to which kinds of interests are included. While there is wide agreement that ‘best interests’ include the physiological welfare of a patient, there is still substantial disagreement about which other interests are included in wider accounts of welfare, the balancing of those other interests, and whether interests are objective or subjective.

The moral obligation to include children and adolescents in medical decisions has been long recognized. Soliciting pediatric assent is a component essential to this effort. Despite the AAP characterization of assent (AAP 1995; AAP 2016), there appears to be a lack of consensus regarding the operational and conceptual meanings of pediatric assent. This this critical scoping review provides an analysis of the varied meanings of pediatric assent in the clinical context.

Pediatric assent is an important ethical construct, yet there is little agreement on what precisely it means, including the ethical justifications for assent. The term is used to indicate everything from acquiescence to an analogue of informed consent itself. The primary goal of this study is to assess the range of ways that pediatric assent is specified in the clinical ethics literature, as well as what different conceptions intimate about its moral value. This systematic review will summarize the normative claims about pediatric assent in recent literature. Analysis will map divergent constructs and various moral and ethical justifications for pediatric …

INTRODUCTION
Over the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has altered the system processes of medical education. The primary goal of this study is to identify themes regarding the concerns of pre-medical students in the 2020-2021 application cycle through qualitative analysis of www.studentdoctor.net medical school admission forum posts in order to contribute to the limited literature available on this relatively novel topic.

Death Exposure Influence On Medical Students’ Attitudes Toward End-Of-Life Care, Sara J. Barlow, Nelia Alfonso, Jason A. Wasserman

INTRODUCTION
Advance directives help guide individuals and their families in making end-of-life decisions that physicians must respect and carry out on behalf of patients to provide optimal care that aligns with their wishes. The facilitation of end-of-life care and the application of advance directives are impacted by physicians’ attitudes and knowledge regarding this topic. Current studies focus on the perspective that practicing physicians have toward advance directives. Our goal is to examine the end-of-life preferences of medical students at Oakland University William Beaumont (OUWB) School of Medicine before and after clinical exposure to better appreciate how and when opinions regarding …

The Divergence Of Medical Ethics And State Laws Regarding Life Sustaining Treatment, Hannah Vandusen, Jason A. Wasserman

INTRODUCTION
Research reveals that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rarely leads to prolonged survival in patients with chronic illnesses in whom death is expected in the relative near-term. There is strong ethical consensus favoring a physician’s right to refuse to provide CPR when it is physiologically futile or medically inappropriate. State laws governing medical treatment, however, sometimes diverge from this guidance. This study examines laws related to life sustaining treatment, analyzing both physician and surrogate authority in decision making about resuscitation orders in the national context.

INTRODUCTION
One in fifty-nine children in the United States are currently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Despite this high prevalence, medical students receive little training on this unique population. This project aims to determine the impact on first-year medical students’ attitudes toward treatment of children diagnosed with ASD following small group interactions in an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinic.

INTRODUCTION
Racial inequalities present in medical education in a multitude of ways, including basing disease prevalence on majority populations and using images that disproportionately represent white patients. George Floyd’s death was not only a sentinel event of police violence, but underscored broader systemic racism, including medicine’s potential for complicity. This study highlights the perspectives of premedical and medical students in light of George Floyd’s death and the Black Lives Matter movement. Their views help elaborate ways to better support students and staff of color in medical education.

INTRODUCTION
Ample research supports the correlation between homelessness and poor health generally. Individuals experiencing homelessness face a higher risk of dermatological health problems due to exposure and sanitation concerns and comprise a disproportionately large share of emergency department (ED) visits. This study assesses whether and how the interaction between homelessness and dermatological health contributes to ED recidivism.
