Negotiating responsibility in the context of migrated physicians
Corinna Klingler received her bachelor`s degree in Philosophy & Economics from the University of Bayreuth, Germany and her master`s degree in International Health Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is currently working as research associate and PhD candidate at the Institute for Ethics, History & Theory of Medicine at LMU Munich. She was a Carlo Schmid Fellow at the Global Health Ethics Unit at the World Health Organization in Geneva in 2014/2015. Corinna`s PhD research focuses on empirical and normative questions that arise in the context of physician migration in destination countries. She normative-analytically analyses responsibility ascriptions and their justifiability in situations where limited setting-specific knowledge of immigrated physicians leads to mistakes in medical practice. Empirically she investigates how the healthcare system frames and reacts to immigrated physician within the system. She bases her analysis on interviews with various stakeholders in the system (e.g. colleagues, head physicians, hospital administration staff, but also representatives of medical associations).
