Dimensions of Moral Experience
摘要
Moral development begins in childhood and continues into adolescence and adulthood, and through each clinician’s professional life. Elements of ongoing moral experience—fairness, autonomy, truthfulness, trust, doing good/avoiding harm, solidarity, and moral judgment—are part of the essential background of knowledge, experience, and informal ethical discourse that preprofessionals bring to their health care education and training. These elements of experience represent fundamental building blocks for professional growth, in general, and also, in particular, for what will become the clinician’s working moral framework for understanding and addressing the ethical dimensions of clinical experience.
