Testimonials

“This class was extremely enjoyable and lectures were very interesting to attend. Dr. Bulger is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher of philosophy and bioethics. The weekly online assignments, readings, and quizzes helped to fortify the knowledge I gleaned from lectures. Thank you for this immersive course.” Chicago Medical School 2017

***

“Thank you for a very informative and thoughtful course. I have already started applying many of the things I learned in this course to my personal life, and the questions and implications that have risen from thinking about the course content have greatly influenced my worldview and my ideas of what it means to be a physician. I never would have guessed medical school would make me want to study philosophy!” Jin-Huon Jou, Chicago Medical School 2017

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

•  PhD in Philosophy with a concentration in: Biomedical Ethics, Clinical Ethics, and Online Pedagogical Course Development; MA Religious Studies; BS Engineering.
Teaching, service, and research has always been implemented in order to managed initiatives to promote patient rights and liberties as evidenced by well-informed shared decision-making and to cultivate student and health-care professional satisfaction, success, and retention through the use of innovative pedagogical approaches, computer technology, and mentoring.

•  HEC-C—Healthcare Ethics Consultant-Certified (Inaugural 2019)
First-ever certification program that identifies and assesses a national standard for the professional practice of clinical healthcare ethics consulting. Established by the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities—ASBH Certification Commission, the HEC-C credential endorses knowledge of key concepts in healthcare ethics and affirms expertise, competence, and skillset. The HEC-C credential is a valuable asset to both practicing healthcare ethics consultants and those serving in leadership roles within their institutions' healthcare ethics initiatives. This program evaluates knowledge and skills in assessing factual information about medical ethics concerns, analysis of ethical questions to resolve issues and conflicts using consistent processes that adhere to healthcare ethics competencies, and the evaluation of outcomes and implications of ethics consultations.

http://asbh.org/certification/hcec-certification

•  Taught and developed a variety of face-to-face, blended and online courses and special programs, hallmarked by exceptional success as evidenced by Student Ratings of Instructor, and Student Learning Outcomes. Sensitive to socio-economic, academic, cultural, and ethnic diversity within the educational, health-care, clinical, and patient populations and I have an understanding of physical and/or learning disabilities and differences in learning styles. Mentored 50 students who successfully competed in the academically peer reviewed National Conference of Undergraduate Research—NCUR.

•  Service on clinical, educational and research institutional governance committees helping to coordinate and develop administrative policies in full compliance with the institutional mission, all federal, state and institutional regulations and policies, and HLC, IBHE, LCME and ACGME accreditation principles, practices and requirements. I have also actively served on community hospital ethics committees teaching and collaborating with health-care professionals and administration for the advancement of advisory decision-making processes and outcomes.

•  Research & Publications have ranged from the writing of Biomedical ethics course textbooks, creation of new courses, developing effective online course delivery structures, and the publication and presentation of a variety of traditional academic papers. Current research is on the emerging fields of artificial intelligence and ethics. This multidisciplinary topic will require both intradepartmental and interdepartmental connections and collaborations with various STEM disciplines. Convolutional Neural Networks in which deep-learning is combined with computer-vision systems, are now surpassing human capacities in areas of facial recognition, autonomous self-driving vehicles, and in a variety of healthcare; screening, diagnosis, and treatment plans. When this is accomplished through the use of an algorithmic “expert-system” and a smartphone camera the result can be a low-cost alternative for some types of “universal healthcare” access. But this intersection of science, technology and ethics can also result in what can be described as Libertarian Paternalism. For example, a patient may be “paternalistically” directed towards a particular end by means of a prescribed treatment plan, yet the patient still has the “libertarian” choice of rejecting that treatment. If the suggested plan is rejected by the patient, then a new treatment plan can be generated that still promotes the goal or end that the patient desires that is also in alignment with the patient’s personal values and social worldview. This is much like the recalculation that a Garmin navigation system does in response to a driver’s rejection of a proposed path to get to a particular destination. The evidence based neuroethical question that my research focuses on is:

What are the necessary and sufficient conditions and responsibilities for categorizing shared decision-making as being a valid informed consent, and how do those necessary and sufficient conditions and responsibilities differ for the patient, the institution, and public policy?

LMS SPECIALIZATION

•  Creation, migration and implementation of online/hybrid courses and training programs (D2L/Brightspace, Canvas, Blackboard, Active pdfs) as based on cognitive science and experiential learning principles that have empirically shown the maximization of teaching and learning excellence as made evidenced by student engagement, success and retention.

•  Collaborative work in the planning, implementation, managing and evaluation of online training and educational programs for the purpose of exemplary online learning and innovative teaching and learning advancement.

•  Instructional design and development, program marketing, scheduling and utilization of distance learning technologies that are appropriate for respective subject areas and for meeting the needs of a broad and diverse multicultural worldwide population.
