Ethics & Decision-Making in Neurology

Training Overview

Ethics & Decision-Making in Neurology is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to strengthen ethical reasoning, clinical judgment, and shared decision-making skills of neurologists facing complex neurological care scenarios. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with hands-on ethical simulation, focusing on patient-centered, legally sound, and ethically responsible neurological practice.

The course covers comprehensive sessions on core principles of medical ethics, informed consent, capacity assessment, end-of-life decision-making, neurocritical care ethics, and management of uncertainty in neurological diseases. Participants gain hands-on experience through realistic simulation scenarios replicating real-world ethical dilemmas encountered in neurology practice, emphasizing balanced decision-making and professional accountability.

Through interactive simulation workshops, attendees engage in step-by-step ethical case analysis, communication with patients and families, and multidisciplinary decision-making under the supervision of expert neurologists, ethicists, and international faculty. Dedicated sessions on autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and legal frameworks ensure a structured and practical ethical learning experience.

In addition to clinical ethics training, the program features expert-led discussions on conflict resolution, cultural sensitivity, documentation, and ethical leadership in neurology. Attendees will also participate in case-based discussions addressing real-world ethical challenges, complex patient scenarios, and high-stakes clinical decisions.

By the end of the program, participants will have enhanced their ethical awareness, communication skills, and confidence in navigating complex decision-making processes in neurological care.
