The University of Michigan Adult Ethics Committee is a sub-committee of the Executive Committee on Clinical Affairs as determined by the Medical Staff Bylaws. The Committee reviews ethical or moral questions that may arise during an adult patient's care.
The goal of the Committee is to facilitate communication among adult patients, their families and the treatment team to assist everyone in making appropriate choices when difficult decisions need to be made.
Committee members include doctors, nurses and social workers, as well as a lawyer, a chaplain, a medical ethics professor and a member of the community.
The Pediatric Ethics Committee reviews ethical and moral questions for pediatric care. |
