Interprofessional Ethics Education
Through the generosity of Madeline Brill Nelson, the Madeline Brill Nelson Chair of Ethics Education was established in 2007. This legacy built on the 2006 Teaching Interprofessional Ethics (TIE) Team goal to catalyze collaborative teaching opportunities for health professionals.
Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Paradigm Initiative
The POLST Paradigm Initiative goal is to effectively communicate the wishes of seriously ill patients to have or to limit medical treatment as they move from one care setting to another.
The Meaning of the Center for Ethics Logo
The weave of the Ethics Center logo represents multiple health care disciplines (symbolized by three strands in one direction) and multiple ethical issues (symbolized by three strands in another direction). The interwoven design illustrates that without working together the weave will not hold. Only through collaboration will we move forward in addressing the ethical issues confronting health care.
Every aspect of the Center’s work is designed to create vitally-needed change in the way health care is taught and practiced.
