In this volume, bioethicists and physicians provide a nuanced, in-depth approach to the difficult issues involved in bioethics consultation. Addressing the needs of researchers, clinicians, and other health professionals on the front lines of bioethics practice, the contributors focus primarily on practical concerns-whether ethics consultation is best done by individuals, teams, or committees; how an ethics consult service should be structured; the need for institutional support; and techniques and programs for educating and training staff-without neglecting more theoretical considerations, such as the importance of character or the viability of organizational ethics. In this work, bioethicists and physicians provide an in-depth approach to the issues involved in bioethics consultation. Addressing the needs of researchers, clinicians and other health professionals, they focus primarily on practical concerns but do not neglect theoretical considerations. ER -
