BHSF Ethics Consultants’ Shared Learning through Simulation

September 2, 2025 to September 5, 2025

This course is designed to assist ethics consultants in enhancing their interpersonal skills when providing ethics consultation services. Participants will engage in a scenario-based learning experience where they will complete an ethical consult. Following this, a group discussion will be held to review a video of the consultation, focusing on the ethics meeting, interactions, and resolution.
