I was able to see the many ways that patient care is coordinated. I also saw how sometimes the goals for a patient conflict with how another profession deems they should be treated. It wasn't until we came together and integrated our patient care plans and ideas that effective plans, that encompassed many aspects of health care, came about to deal with these dilemmas.

Nursing helped me to better understand how certain patient situations can be approached from a patient communication standpoint and how to best communicate options and outcomes to patients. PT and OT's emphasis on autonomy and independence was an interesting perspective that really translates well into the outpatient setting and is crucial for preventing re-admission.

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing the approach from different angles and professions was eye-opening. Each profession has its own focus and ethical approaches that add some insight to the bigger picture and allow a team to make a more informed ethical decision. For example, PT/OT emphasized the outcomes of the patient at home and work, rather than just the hospital view of the patient.

In the one card about hospice I think the discussion around who would break the news to the man that he was dying was interesting. Both PT and OT felt like it was out of our scope of practice to tell a patient something like that, and believed it was more of the role of MD or Mental Health Counselor. Pharmacy was interesting to hear about as well because they saw things from a much more economic viewpoint. Discussing alternative medications that were cheaper for clients and such.

When discussing accessibility concerns, PT and OT were very informative on how the new limitations of a patient can keep them from going home. A patient needs to be mobile and able to navigate their environment, despite new health concerns. They also pointed out the need for patients to be informed when discussing hospice care. It may impact the patient's goals for OT and PT, what outcomes they seek, and whether they continue care.

Throughout reading and discussing both scenarios I learned a lot from all of my team members. As a physical therapist student, I am mainly focused on how well the patient can move, what their dependency level is, and what their home life hurdles are. Having pharmacy students within the group showed me how important it is that before you discharge a patient you take into account what their medication load is, if they can take the medication themselves, and if they can afford and/or find it after being discharged. If they are unable to continue the medication then before being discharged they have to be put onto a different protocol and ensure it still works for them. Having occupational therapy here reminded me of the daily living tasks the patient needs to be fluent with before being discharged. Having a medical and nursing student here helped me understand the legal aspect and more overseeing view that they have for the patient. It was nice being able to understand the why we cannot do that. Working as a team is extremely beneficial when it comes to patient care. For example, if we have a patient that we believe should not be discharged but the hospital wants them to be we can come together, have our documentation intertwine and more thoroughly advocate for the patient to stay.

I learned that even though my group similar values, we all still very different! I enjoyed seeing things from the other perspective and seeing how we all work deeply together. I learned that I have so much more to learn in my field. I also learned how to actively listen to the roles and responsibilities of the other health professionals. My main value that guide my professional decision are faith and meaningful work. My team all had similar values and worked well with one another l.

During the card sorting exercise, I realized that many of my strongest values such as integrity, respect, and helping others are not only important to me personally but also serve as the foundation of how I want to conduct myself professionally. Narrowing down the cards made me think critically about what I truly prioritize when faced with difficult situations, rather than what simply sounds good in theory.

The in-person ethical dilemmas added another layer of reflection. I noticed that when faced with gray areas or competing priorities, I relied most on fairness and accountability to guide my reasoning. I also learned that I tend to seek solutions that minimize harm and preserve trust, which shows how much I value relationships and responsibility in my decision-making.

Listening to my team members share their perspectives was equally valuable. Some emphasized efficiency, innovation, or loyalty more than I did, which made me realize how diverse value systems can enrich team problem-solving. At times, their approaches challenged me to consider angles I might have overlooked, while other times our shared commitment to honesty and respect reinforced my confidence in those principles.

Overall, the experience showed me that while my values strongly influence my professional ethics, being open to others’ perspectives can strengthen my ability to navigate complex situations in a balanced and thoughtful way.

I learned today how hard ethical choices will be in the healthcare settings. My personal values aligned well with autonomy, beneficence, non maleficence and justice. I love focusing on the person's well being and doing what is best for them, but that is not always the easiest choice to me. For me, the second case study was harder. As a physical therapist, it was hard imagining sending the patient home to a 2 story house that he could not function in without a trained care giver. It was hard finding a solution that would work for them given their fear of government and no insurance. I loved hearing the different perspectives on what to do in these situations and how we can all work together to find the best solution for the patient. It also gave me ease that I was not alone in making these tough decisions. The best advice that I took away from this is that we are at the bottom of a very large food chain. We are not the ones making the policies, the laws or the rules. We have to follow them and find any adjustments or loopholes to do what is best for our patient. We can do what is best for our patient and not feel guilty for not doing everything in our power.

In this activity, I learned much about how to treat patients I'm different environments and learned more about the detail that I need to know as my role as a pharmacist. Things that that guide my professional decision making include my own knowledge, but also the knowledge and opinions of the group that I am working with when treating the patients. Other team members’ values enhanced my views upon treating the patients through following both ethical and legal concerns or processes. I learned how to treat a patient in a way that would best suit them, but also while following legal limits when assisting them. My values includes honesty, relationships, and ethics, which all follow important principles in the healthcare system. I must be honest in providing medications as a pharmacist to patients. I need to form thoughtful relationships so that the patients trust me. I have to include ethical concerns so that the patients can afford or are able to be provided with medication.

As care providers, we are obligated to deliver the best care possible. But in many instances, what’s “best” may be difficult to determine. Sometimes doing what is best requires making difficult decisions. Understanding that we are obligated to help all of our patients may mean that we have to try our best to find that fine line between not helping enough and helping too much to where it will take away from others. And sometimes we have to make hard decisions to protect ourselves so that we may continue to care for others in the future. This is why providing healthcare is both a blessing and a cures.

My faith guided my professional decision-making. My team members' values greatly enhanced my values as we shared similar core values. Even if we did not share the same values, we were able to collectively talk and respect one another. I appreciated the open-mindedness that my team had and I really liked hearing from different groups too. My experience in assessing my personal values was very intriguing and I genuinely enjoyed learning more about myself. I loved being able to articulate how important my values are and how it plays out in the the work environment. The ethical dilemmas are not something I come across every day, so I am thankful for this exercise to bring about discussion and to hear different ideas and opinions from other professions. I learned a lot about the discharge process and how important it is to advocate for a patient as a nurse. I had no idea how vital the role of a doctor is in the discharge process. My role in the patient care will never be taken lightly by me again! I am grateful to be able to have the opportunity to collaborate with other healthcare workers and I hope this teamwork with other professions continues to take place in real life.

Throughout the session, I found that my values and beliefs aligned with those of my peers. I learned to be mindful of the patient's rights as well as legal rights and what the family wants. My personal and professional ethics were faith, honesty, relationships, happiness, and excellence, which were also similiar to my peers. We discussed that everybody might have a different view of what care should be taken, but it was helpful to bounce ideas off of each other and gain more knowledge of different scenarios. This is important because, as a team, we must communicate effectively with each other and ensure the patient feels comfortable and understands their health status. While this is important, getting the family involved is also important, and they should also be aware of the plan of care. Many different scenarios can be handled in different ways, and it was helpful to get different perspectives from others. Medicine is something that is important and we should take that into consideration.

This assignment helped me to see that many individuals deal with situations based on the values that are most valuable to them. It was interesting to hear the differing opinions as we all had different core values in our group. I learned that I value autonomy for clients, big that most situations are not black and white. You will constantly be placed in a dilemma in which you must interact with your healthcare team to come to the best decision for your client. Many will not agree and it is important to work with both the client, their family, and other healthcare professionals.

Working with other (future)  healthcare workers was inspiring and made me excited to get into the field, and even consider working in a hospital setting over a private practice. Communication is so important between professionals as well as with the patient and their support system, in counseling, we consider the "whole person" and the family system, so in order to provide proper care, you must understand everything that is going on with the patient, what their life is at home, and what resources they have available.

MED:

Collaboration and effective communication in healthcare is vital for providing quality care to patient. In saying this, I found that my top values were faith, family and freedom, which are applicable to my personal and professional life. As a future physician, I believe that it is vital to keep my faith at the center of everything that I do, as it grounds me. Additionally, it provides me comfort and peace in unpredictable and challenging situations, knowing that I can fall on my relationship with God during these heightened situations. This evening, I learned that I have to listen more to others and be receptive on every angle of care for the patient. Additionally, I learned that there is something to learn from every single situation and case that I have the opportunity to be a part of. As I mentioned before, my faith drives my decision making, along with conversing with close family members in confidence on how I can provide better care for patients along with being the best version of myself in a clinical setting. I can't wait for many more opportunities to grow not only as an individual but also as a student doctor and eventually physician.

Describing and trying to choose my top 5 values was more complicated than I thought it would be. However, I do believe I chose the top-most important ones to me. I didn't notice any ethical dilemmas while trying to sort through the cards. There was a little bit of an ethical dilemma in the case studies because while I highly respect my clients and want the best for them, I also respect policy and authority. This is an example of when working with a team could be extremely beneficial. You get the insight of other healthcare professionals. I noticed I leaned more towards the ethical values for the patients, and what could be best emotionally and physically for them. I learned that there are so many factors to consider when doing these case studies. All of the members in my group had similar opinions on what we could do as a team, as well as the individual members of the group. We all brought up different ideas, but all agreed that they could be beneficial to the patient and their families overall. Overall, this was a great exercise to practice working with a team and to be given the opportunity to think about my individual role.

I joined this IPE experience as a pharmacy student for the first time and realized the intricacies of patient care when working as a team. Going into this activity, I had my top 3 values as education, relationships, and fairness. As we were going through the case studies as a group, I realized how much my own values and morals were introducing bias in my decisions. So, I had to take a step back and look at the four key principles of medical ethics and look at the way my decision was aligning with those four principles. The care plan became difficult when considering the many external factors that are affecting the patient and finding ways to maximize the “good” and minimize the harm. I learned that although I came into the experience feeling confident about my values however, as I was discussing with my team, they introduced new ideas that I previously hadn’t considered. Through their new ideas, I was able to come up with a better care plan and was able to view the situation from a different angle. Overall, it gave me a great idea of how to work together with others without putting my perspective first as the only correct course of action.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that while I tend to think of hypothetical choices from more of the utilitarian viewpoint, when faced with an actual case I tend to think more in the ethics of care model. The two examples we discussed as a group brought interesting and challenging variables that made me question the validity of any of these models by themselves. Speaking with my colleagues each approached the questions from unique viewpoints. PT and OT made great points that while they would advocate for the patient to remain in the hospital, the final decision would not fall on them. With the responsibilities of the physician role come an expectation to understand the ethical dilemmas and community resources available to give patients the best care possible.

# data[].attributes.body
It was eye-opening to hear how other healthcare professions would handle these cases. Having specialities helps bring quality holistic care for patients, and it was interesting to see how we came together to discuss these cases. My group was especially guided by the ethical value of autonomy and had decision-making fall onto the patient. My other team members all used this value along with the other ethical values to find common ground with our ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Among the many values we discussed, I believe integrity stands out as the most important in guiding my professional decision-making. Clinical environments are often fast-paced and overwhelming, which means mistakes are sometimes unavoidable. In those moments, it is essential to acknowledge our humanity, take responsibility, and work diligently to correct errors. Choosing honesty and accountability over concealment not only prevents further harm but also strengthens the trust that patients place in us.

Collaborating with other healthcare professionals was a a great experience. Through these discussions, I came to appreciate that although each of us will develop expertise in different fields, what unites us is a common set of values and a shared passion for helping our patients. Working in an interdisciplinary group reminded me of the importance of seeking out diverse perspectives and learning from one another. For example, consulting a pharmacist for suggestions on an alternative medication when a patient cannot afford the first-line option demonstrates how teamwork directly benefits patient care.

During our discussions of ethical dilemmas, I noticed how openly everyone contributed their insights. We explored concepts such as autonomy, justice, and the central role of communication, both between patients and providers and among members of the healthcare team. Gaining a deeper understanding of one another’s roles ultimately enhances collaboration and leads to more effective, patient-centered care.

I found that doing the case studies through the perspective of other medical students (within different specialties) was interesting in terms of how we could all come to an agreement that would best benefit the patient. This also opened my eyes to different opinions and perspectives regarding the best course of action when being a health care provider.

# data[].attributes.body
My group discussed how making sure the patient is not harmed is a main priority in care. I always looked at it from what would benefit the patient, but a group member pointed out that it may not be the best approach for each patient. The patient may not want the treatment that I am advising, and I have to learn to accept that.

# data[].attributes.body
I thoroughly enjoyed working with other disciplines on the case studies. I found it very important that we began the discussion with a reflection of personal values. It was beneficial to discuss personal and shared values before we dove into the case studies. My personal values of education, faith and relationships were the most prevelant in the discussion. Additionally, my small group all had either spiritutaulty, religion or faith in our top five. We talked briefly about the benefits and friction that holding particular faith based values has in health professions in general.

The card sorting activity provided a productive means to reflect and share. Coming into the discussion, I leaned towards "black and white" thinking, my faith being the major contributor to what is "right" or "wrong." The case study activity allowed me to see my biases more clearly and address some preconceived notions that I hold. The interactive expericne with my group, the larger group and the professors allowed me to dig deeper and ask questions of "why"?

Discussing ethical dilemmas with a team coming from different backgrounds with vairous expertise was enlightening to say the least. I really had not thought deeply about a pharmacists role in sitauions like the cases and so it was incredble to hear my peers speak about that.

leaves with well-rounded care and prevents gaps in care when all aspects are covered with each team member with different expertise seeing the patient and making sure those specific needs are met. They go hand in hand and all affect the patient equally.

A patient's care incorporates many disciplines, so it is essential to incorporate perspectives for each when making decisions. Ethical concerns are difficult, so hearing how each discipline will be affected by the decision is imperative to make the best decision for the patient. I learned so much about how pharmacy can navigate administering different medications when factoring in income and cost. I learned how doctors can work to establish a plan of action to address these concerns. I learned the importance of social work in patient-family relationships, especially emotionally when dealing with grief.

This experience opened my eyes to the different roles each discipline plays in every case. Although the MD will have the most say on each case, the other healthcare providers are essential to well rounded care and each play into providing a patient the best ethical care possible.

It was interesting to see how each profession can come together to and actually discuss each one of our professions as well as how each of us would try to the best of our ability approach the different situations. I learned that each one of my group members agreed about our values and how while some may have values one or two things differently the majority were the same. The values that were prioritized in our group were family, helping others, faith, and more. I learned that the majority of my members valued the more logical option even though it may ethically cause problems in the end it would be the most helpful for the patient. Each of their ideas helped me see that great decision making in a inter-professional team setting is rarely based on a single persons values, but it is a combination of many different perspectives that leads to stronger, more balanced solutions. Working together to reach a common goal of helping a patient helps illustrate why many of my group and myself choose the each one of our professions as well as brought ourselves a sense of accomplishment to provide out input on our specific subject matter.

Everyone at my table had wonderful ideas about improving patient outcomes and connected to all of the ethical values of medicine. We wanted to improve patient outcomes and combine our knowledge to make the best plan. I really liked talking to pharmacy and hearing their ideas about finding alternative medications in times of financial hardship or with patients with no insurance. I am excited to work with everyone again.

It was really fascinating to be able to collaborate with other healthcare professions to come up with solutions for certain situations we were given. It was nice to have other perspectives and learn from those in other areas of expertise to better contribute to caring for the patient. I learned how important communication between all healthcare professions is. Without everyone working as a team, our patients won't get the best care they need. I especially liked hearing more about pharmacy and the ways they could make medication more accessible when certain patients weren't able to afford it or when their insurance couldn't or wouldn't cover it. Overall, it was a positive experience being able to brainstorm with like-minded people in different professions.

Working through the dilemmas with my team was eye-opening. Some of my teammates emphasized efficiency or autonomy more strongly than I did, which challenged me to look at situations from angles I might have overlooked. Their perspectives didn’t weaken my own values; instead, they added depth and balance. Overall, the activities helped me see that my professional decision-making is grounded in compassion and responsibility, but I grow stronger when I include the values of others around me.

I found the first case to be frustrating and sad at the same time. I think that someone who has full competency has a right to know what they are being treated for if they are asking. It almost seemed like the wife was putting herself and her feelings ahead of what the husband may have wanted. I think that in general it is important to respect the autonomy of the patient if they are requesting information and are of sound mind. The patient might want to spend their last little bit of time doing things etc. There was discussion regarding a law team in healthcare and how it is important to check with them, that based on these circumstances, this is what I can inform the patient. I think interprofessional collaboration is important in treating a patient in general. In this case, professionals can guide the patient to asking other professionals the right questions to understand the prognosis that was made.
