Navigating Diagnostic Challenges in Pediatric Rheumatology

As physicians, ethical challenges are a certainty for us. Some can be spotted easily and avoided, but what do we do when the choices are not obvious, and a path isn't clear? We must trust our tools to fashion a way forward. Today, we discuss some of today's most relevant moral dilemmas with the Chair of the ACR Ethics Committee, Dr. Kelly Weselman. We'll touch on the balance between patient autonomy and medical recommendations, navigating the complexities of access to care and treatment costs, and managing conflicts of interest. At the bottom of the show, we explore the evolving ethical landscape that is influenced by technological advancements and the increasing availability of information.
