Rapposelli\, PT\, President\, APTA Delaware \n______________________________________________ \n2:45 PM –  4:45 PM – “Ethical Considerations in Healthcare Decision Making” (2.0 CEU) \nSpeaker: Brandon Ambrosino\, PhD \nBrandon Ambrosino is an ethicist and theologian at Villanova University\, where he currently serves as Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor in the Augustine and Culture Seminar Program. He holds a PhD in Theology and Ethics and a Master of Theological Studies from Villanova University\, and is currently enrolled in the Bioethics and Health Law Master of Arts program at Loyola University’s Stritch School of Medicine. Brandon is currently an editorial fellow of the American Medical Association’s Journal of Ethics\, for which he is editing a special journal issue on Hypochondria\, Illness Anxiety\, and the limits of medicine. Brandon is a widely-published author and journalist\, with writing appearing in a variety of outlets\, including The New York Times\, Boston Globe\, BBC\, Washington Post\, The Globe & Mail\, The Atlantic\, The Economist\, Christian Century\, Commonweal\, and Playboy — which he only reads for the articles.

Brandon is a member of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities\, the American Society for Dental Ethics\, the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science\, and the Society of Christian Ethics. \nBrandon’s interest in bioethics began in 2018\, when his husband Andy asked for advice about a disabled patient. As one of the only general dentists treating Delaware’s disabled population\, Andy spends a lot of time helping these patients navigate the complicated healthcare system. Thorny ethical issues often arise in the course of this treatment\, requiring Brandon and Andy to engage in creative moral deliberation. Brandon and Andy have written about some of their work in this area for the Delaware Journal of Public Health. \nBrandon enjoys CrossFit\, mountain biking\, and tap dancing\, as well as playing The Floor is Lava with his adorable three year-old nephew. If he isn’t in Delaware or on campus at Villanova\, he’s probably in Disney World. He and Andy are Disney Adults but they try to not be insufferable about it.
