Duke Center for the Study of Medical Ethics and Humanities
 

Service

In February, 2006 the Duke Hospital Ethics Committee was created. Meeting monthly, with members drawn from throughout the Duke Hospital and University community, the goal of the Committee is to reflect on the ethical ramifications of clinical care practices at Duke Hospital. Members will engage in self education using a formal curriculum of directed readings and address topics of clinical significance to patients and their families, the staff and our community. Members serve two year terms. Current members include:
