End of Life Decision Making

Dr. Mobin-Uddin, an Assistant Professor in the Division of Bioethics and director of the Clinical Bioethics Consultation Service at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, is partnering with CETE’s Excellence in Engagement and Evaluation program. Her research aims to encourage advanced care planning with end-of-life medical decision-making in patients and families. The multiphase project is curated to help support the central Ohio Muslim-American community address end-of-life care planning via the development and dissemination of educational interventions to both the community and Ohio State medical staff. The grant is intended to help forge trust between both parties while alleviating uncertainty around end-of-life decision-making. The ultimate goal is to develop a tool to facilitate such conversations prior to patients’ arrival at the hospital.
