Putting Anti-Racism into Practice as a Healthcare Ethics Consultant

In light of these calls, it is pertinent to point out that very little information exists about how the concept of race and the problem of racism are being addressed in the actual practice of healthcare ethics consultation. While the aspiration is there, we know little about how we are doing and the little we do know does not indicate substantial attention to racism and social justice. The ASBH Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibilities for Healthcare Ethics Consultants identifies a professional obligation “to reduce disparities, discrimination, and inequities when providing consultations... to identify and include relevant voices in the discourse, particularly marginalized voices... [and] [w]hen possible, ... identify systemic issues constraining fair outcomes in [healthcare ethics consultation]” (ASBH 2014). Yet ethics consultants seem far from delivering on this commitment. The American Society for Bioethics and Humanities Report, ‘Core Competencies for Healthcare Ethics Consultants,’ lists the typical concerns that ethics consultants must be prepared to address, and it does not include concerns about unfair treatment, discrimination or racism (ASBH 2011, p 4).
