On a regular basis in sports medicine, we are faced with ethical dilemmas. Whether or not we should allow kids to play certain sports based on injury risk, performance enhancement and equipment advances, treatment interventions, return to play decisions, and conflicts of interest to name a few. These issues may cause disagreements between the athlete and the physician or even among physicians as to how to best deal with various situations.   During my pediatrics residency training, I had the privilege of learning from an ethicist who not only provided me with a process to improve my critical thinking and how to approach things from multiple views, but also was truly influential in shaping me into the physician I am today. Today on the podcast I have a pediatric physician who is considered a true expert on ethics. I hope you finish listening today with a new appreciation for ethics in medicine.    Connect with The Host!
