Summary

Ethics case consultations often highlight ethical issues within an organization that may be best addressed with education. Ethics education is an integral and essential role for HECs, yet HEC members are often not prepared to support this challenging role. To teach ethics, the HEC member should understand and be able to convey what ethics is and what makes it unique, be prepared to overcome common barriers to ethics education, define goals of the education efforts, and utilize vital and clinically relevant educational methods. Some key insights can help guide educational efforts.
