The center partnered with Houston Methodist to offer an advanced bioethics course specifically designed for all types of healthcare professionals who are involved with or interested in the resolution of complex ethical challenges.
The center created Grand Rounds as one of several ways to engage and keep physicians, nurses, physician assistants, and related professionals abreast of ever changing topics within the field.
Center faculty have created this clinical ethics guide to highlight the work we have done in developing and staffing clinical ethics consultation programs in the Texas Medical Center for more than 30 years, practical tools we have created, and ready-to-use pearls of wisdom.
