Gregg Robbins-Welty, MD, MS
Chief Resident of the Combined Residency Training Program in Internal Medicine-Psychiatry
Duke University Medical Center

Abstract: Imagine stabilizing a young woman from her 101st Benadryl overdose—an act of self-harm she has repeated countless times. She leaves each time, only to return with the same crisis. In this session, Dr. Robbins-Welty will discuss the ethical issues of palliative psychiatry in the setting of chronic self-harm.

Continuing medical education credit will be available for those in attendance.

The Center for Bioethics & Health Law Clinical Ethics Forum brings together Pitt faculty (including law, medicine, nursing, and philosophy scholars), Pitt students, trainees, and UPMC staff for ethics discussions including journal clubs, policy discussions, and case conferences.
