Teaching Ethics Consultation Using a Tabletop Exercise

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Drawing on pedagogical tools utilized in clinical scenario simulation and emergency preparedness training, the authors describe an innovative method for teaching clinical ethics consultation skills, which they call a "tabletop" exercise. Implemented at the end of a clinical ethics intensive course, the tabletop enables learners to implement the knowledge and practice the skills they gained during the course. The authors highlight the pedagogical tools on which the tabletop exercise draws, describe the tabletop exercise itself, offer how to best operationalize such an exercise, reflect on the method's strengths and weaknesses, and provide insights for others who may want to implement their own tabletop for ethics consultation education.
