Ethics Resource Forum

The main objective of the Ethics Resource Network is to build a multi-disciplinary and cross-site team effort to (1) promote network members' broad knowledge of ethics, (2) enhance PHC's capacity of ethical reflection and decision-making, and (3) provide a broad interdisciplinary process by which to handle ethics issues and concerns that affect clinical units, teams, programs, services and the organization as a whole.
