Caring for children with serious illness presents unique ethical challenges that require sensitivity, clinical insight, and moral clarity. This recorded webinar explores foundational and advanced concepts in pediatric ethics, including shared decision-making, assessing best interests, navigating uncertainty, and supporting families through difficult choices.

Clinicians will gain tools to:

• Identify and respond to ethical dilemmas in pediatric palliative and serious illness care
• Facilitate values-based communication with families and interdisciplinary teams
• Understand the ethical considerations related to prognosis, medical futility, and consent in pediatrics

Through real-world case examples and expert guidance, this webinar helps health care professionals approach pediatric ethics with compassion, integrity, and confidence.
