Ethics Education Service
What kinds of ethics education services do you offer?
We offer presentations on a variety of clinical ethics topics, available by request, to hospital staff, students and UNC faculty. We also offer presentations throughout the community. In addition to the fundamental issues in ethics that arise in patient care, we also often teach on topics regarding communication strategies, disruptions in patient care, connections between ethical issues and patient safety, and the various methods for ethical analysis. We employ lecture, small group discussion, embedded ethics on rounds, and workshop models to accommodate a variety of learning styles.
