Ethics inquiry entails both elegant
theoretical work and everyday, experience-bound practical work. It
requires both richly informed conceptual analysis and real world empirical
hypothesis testing. Our aim is to build on and enrich theory through
empirical inquiry. Clinical ethics is the branch of biomedical
ethics that seeks to improve health care by refining clinical decisions,
creating innovative educational approaches, pursuing empirical study, and
shaping public policy richly informed by clinical experience and science.
As a group, we place tremendous importance
on helping to prepare health care professionals in their efforts to
acquire the knowledge and skills they need to address the next generation
of ethical challenges in research and the care of others. On
fulfillment of the bioethics principle of "Respect for Persons," we wish
to understand the different and shared views held by people who are served
by the medical profession (that means pretty much everyone!). We
welcome your interest and collaborations.
