“Let’s talk about nudges!

Or perhaps a thought-provoking case to discuss with your pediatric hematology-oncology fellows?

And what role does trust play?
Also, as the new editor of the Ethics Rounds Case series, we’re always looking for an interesting pediatric ethics case, reach out at any time!”
