Reflection on new knowledge and ethics in health care
to kick off the final immersion day, Professor Ricky Allen took a few moments to reflect on the past few days by addressing the persistent questions of the students about leadership. The delicate matter of situational leadership - in which a manager uses different leadership styles based on a specific scenario - was a topic on a lot of students' minds. Professor Allen reminded the class that, like any other skill, it takes practice to real life.
The last session of the immersion on the ethics of health care has attracted the most enthusiastic discussions and valuable weekend. "Ethics is not a pretty subject, but it is something that is very, very serious," said Professor Allen. "And we have included in the immersion on leadership rather than a module because it . is a thread that runs through everything you do "
" leadership is like driving more you drive, the easier it gets you just have to actually do it... "- Professor Ricky Allen
Because medical professionals are so many decisions that significantly affect the lives of people, the class explored the subject through several lenses, identification and resolution of ethical issues , administrative and biomedical ethical issues, ethical issues that came to the front with the increasing use of technology in health care. The discussion was very theoretical and turn deeply personal turn as students shared their relevant experiences.
Professor Allen and Dr. Friedman both noticed the passionate nature of the debate. "We could not make this session on the first day," said Dr. Friedman. "Because this discussion requires an extremely high level of confidence."
"Everyone here is a leader."
As the immersion ended, teachers and students took a moment to say thank you to the other. Many were surprised to see how they had become in just three days. "I feel like everyone here is a leader," said Kendra Fascilli. "Everyone was very down to earth, very collaborative. I would ask anyone here a personal or professional issue. "Student Cristeta Smith agreed," I am close to people very quickly, and the structure was conducive to collaboration. "

Others said that immersion has opened to new ways of thinking. "I think it was amazing," said the student Daphne Pierre-Paul. "Diversity is nice. It was nice to be with people who are totally different things. I think that was my part MBTI favorite. It's all about finding people who can complement you and complement each other. "
Student Jeffrey Orr said that come to campus reinforced his sense of belonging to the GW community. "It has really improved the experience of returning to school. It made me feel like a part of something," he said.
