Mission

The Academy created the Health Care Ethics Leadership Consortium to better understand the bioethics consultation service environment in our region, to support collaborations across institutions, to create regional best bioethics practices, and to support national efforts to elevate bioethics practice.

Problem Statement

“Ethics consultants and committee members face numerous challenges in providing the highest level of service. Chief among the challenges are the undervaluing ethics consultation services and ethics committee work; the increasing variety of backgrounds and educational experience of consultants and committee members; and limited time and local opportunities to appropriately engage in targeted continuing education programs.”
