Wellstar Fellowship in Clinical Ethics

The aim of the Wellstar Fellowship in Clinical Ethics is to promote advanced competencies in our fellows such that graduates are prepared for employment as clinical ethicists or ethics program leaders in a variety of healthcare settings.

This two-year, full-time, non-ACGME program is designed to offer the necessary training for graduates to be able to deliver quality ethics consultation and engage in other fundamental clinical ethics activities.

Our training is based on the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) Core Competencies for Healthcare Ethics Consultation and the most current competencies and milestones identified within the field.

Some graduates may seek employment in academic bioethics, in which case we believe their clinical preparation will strengthen their academic work and enable them to ground their scholarship, research, and teaching in clinical realities.
