	Ethics for the Clinician/Trainer/Patient in Adaptive Sports Medicine



	In the realm of Disability Sport and Adaptive Sport Medicine, the ethics of care of the provider are unique. The nature of a rehabilitation hospital warrants an authentic and specific perspective, by virtue of the reality of that ecosystem. Individuals with disabilities who are rehabilitating after a disease or injury may have different needs than most other patients. This scholarly project uncovered the rich process of making meaning of the intricacies of Adaptive Sports Medicine at Spaulding. When ethics was the lens through which the participant observer approached this project, it necessitated delving deeper into this relatively nascent treatment of this subject, that is largely absent from the bioethics literature. Methods for addressing clinical and organizational ethics issues in an environment involving disability ethics came into play. The researcher apprenticed in an ethics advisory committee and developed focused educational programming for the adapted sports team of clinicians, conducting a qualitative review. The objectives of this capstone project were to: a) understand the elements of the unique nature of disability bioethics, b) accommodating discussions of bioethics principles in a disability/adaptive sport medicine context, and c) learn how to be a more inclusive clinical ethicist and practitioner. With freedom of movement as a goal and self-determination as an ideal, it was shown that rehabilitation is more a quality of life (rather than/compared to life or death) matter and domain. It has to do with purpose, and meaning, participation and empowerment leading to human flourishing.

	What does Bioethics have to do with the Olympics or the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Beijing? Unfortunately, and due to the doping abuses in years past, human performance and sport participation at the elite level has always had a parasitic relationship with drugs and banned substances, affecting health, medicine and public health worldwide against the Olympic values of respect and fairplay. Come and find out more about the Winter Olympics, Medicine, Ethics and more! \&nbsp;



	The idea is to introduce some basic ethical dilemmas around the Winter Olympics, on the occasion on the of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The Olympism4Humanity Alliance in partnership with MAHPERD (Massachusetts Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance) will celebrate the International Olympic Day at Harvard University exactly one month before the opening of the Rio Olympics. The origins of Olympism and their history dating back to Greece but most of all its meaning to education and society will be discussed with Olympic scholars, Harvard professors as well as an Olympic Gold medalist, Harvard alumna and International Olympic Committee member, Angela Ruggiero. A display of Olympic memorabilia and publications will also be available that day.}
