Ethics of Caring Conference Description When we enter a room for the first time whether it is the hospital clinic or the patients own home we have an opportunity to connect with a patient in a critical way. In those first moments we can utilize an ethic of care and intentionality to build trust. That encounter not only impacts the relationship but it also extends out into the world and we become known as a profession of those who are worthy of trust. Trust relationally communicates our commitment to beneficence integrity and respect for persons.
