Moral injury is defined as the injury suffered when we have to violate our deeply held moral beliefs in furtherance of our jobs or projects. This has been studied at length related to the military and, throughout the pandemic, related to healthcare workers. This presentation deals with the ethical rules that require us to violate our own deeply held ethical beliefs to adequately discharge our duties to clients, tribunals, and others.
