| Dr Catherine Berglund
School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
Ethics is a structured process of reflection on values, beliefs, and on the acceptability or meaning of those values or held beliefs (and consequent actions). It is a tool of analysis and critique. Broadly, the application of ethics to health care issues is termed bioethics or health care ethics. When applied to health contexts, ethics can be used to reflect on issues ranging from the micro issues of health care treatment and health care relationships to the larger macro issues of health care systems, and even further to the broader societal issues of health and social structure. Catherine Berglund's area of interest lies mainly in the issues of: treatment and care, in specific health care contexts; and health care research ethics. Her research focus has included: professional standards and community views on health care ethics issues, children's consent and competency in health care treatment, community concerns in different health care contexts, accessibility of views through the media, privacy and confidentiality of medical records in medical research, children as participants in medical research, and community consultation about medical research.

Colorectal cancer is currently the most common cancer diagnosed in Australia and has the second highest incidence of cancer-related deaths. Our research group, the Colorectal Cancer Research Consortium, was established to develop and test better systems for the identification, integration and dissemination of clinically relevant information about colorectal cancers and to use this information as a basis to develop research that could be translated into clinical practice. Current project include: - Development of synoptic pathology reporting for colorectal cancer - Identification of data that is essential for the reporting of colorectal cancer by the Clincial Cancer Registry - Integration of mismatch repair deficiency testing (MMRD)into pathology reporting of colorectal cancer - Microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer as a prognostic indicator for metachronous cancers

School of Public Health and Community MedicineStatement of Interests:
My research interests include ethics and personal responsibility, the development of professionalism, and medical education. I am currently researching students' perceptions of learning in scenario group, the role of the facilitator, the influence of group dynamics and individual responsibility for learning. My interest in personal responsibility is currently directed towards development of professionalism beginning with students' attitudes towards appropriate academic conduct and how this translates to their early experiences in the clinical setting. I am also undertaking collaborative research on advance directives.
