Biography
Julie M. Aultman, PhD is a philosopher and bioethicist by training, who does both theoretical and clinical ethics. She serves on several hospital ethics committees in Northeast Ohio, and acts as a consultant for healthcare professionals, patients, and their families. In addition to serving her community as a bioethics consultant, she teaches clinical ethics to undergraduate and graduate medical students and resident physicians. Her primary research involves both theoretical and pragmatic investigations into the concepts of health and disease, namely mental health, and ethical issues surrounding community-based rehabilitation, treatment adherence, and the use of classification systems in medical practice. Other research areas include the evaluation of teaching practices and curriculum development within medical education, the role of medical ethics in the clinical setting, and the involvement of humanities within a medical curriculum. Aultman has published and presented her research nationally and internationally. She recently co-edited, Professionalism in Medicine: Critical Perspectives (Springer-Verlag publications, 2006).
