Theme: Promoting a Sustainable Life for Thriving Communities
Date and Time: 12th April 2024 | 13:00-14:30 (GMT)
Event Description: Conflicts are inevitable in any work environment, especially in the health sector. Failure to address conflicts between healthcare professionals impedes the progress of health public health and hinders the delivery of essential health services. A dysfunctional healthcare professional brings an insidious cost to any health organization, making the understanding of the basics of medical ethics and being capacitated in conflict management skills essential to every healthcare worker.
Since IFMSA is a hub for medical students who are interested in public and global health, capacitating the members on understanding the dimensions of conflict dynamics in public health, conflict management skills, medical ethics, and health equity is a priority.
By the end of this session, participants are expected to achieve the following objectives:
- Understand the core causes of conflict within public health;
- Understand cultural sensitivity and competence;
- Develop an understanding of medical ethics and its foundational principles;
- Explore the ethical dimensions of conflict resolution;
- Recognize the AAAQ framework;
- Be equipped with efficient conflict-resolution techniques
This session will be based on a peer education approach, using different interactive methodologies, including presentations, case studies, group discussions, and debates.
