My project focused on the topic of psychiatric futility and the ethics of this concept. We often discuss futility in the concept of medical treatments, but not psychiatric ones. Through this project, I wanted to explore whether or not patients who were refractory to all available psychiatric care could be considered to be appropriate for palliative care, rather than potentially futile further psychiatric care. For my project, I developed and presented a case at the MSMS 23rd Annual Conference on Bioethics in Ann Arbor.
