Contemporary ethical assessments often overlook practitioner uncertainty, particularly with emerging technologies.
Traditional ethical frameworks may not adequately address the complexities of modern moral dilemmas.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a more realistic and compelling approach to ethical dilemmas by adopting an interprofessional perspective.
To explore how interprofessional ethics can better handle uncertainty and ambiguity in practice.

Main Methods:

The seventh CAP Foundation Conference convened to discuss ethical challenges from an interprofessional viewpoint.
The study integrates philosophical traditions, including American pragmatism (Dewey, Stout) and Neo-Thomism (Pellegrino, Thomasma).

Keywords:

Main Results:

Professions, as public institutions, promise to uphold social goods but face legitimate challenges in pluralistic democracies.
Ethical uncertainty and ambiguity arise from the partiality inherent in individual professional perspectives.

Conclusions:

An interprofessional ethical perspective is crucial for addressing complex moral dilemmas.
Acknowledging dependence on other professions strengthens the commitment to public trust and the enhancement of social goods.
