Education, Medical, Health Care, Medication / 645 views
CPB’s mission is to raise and respond to ethical issues in health and healthcare. Our vision is for ethical discourse and action advance the health and dignity of all persons. As science and technology expand what medicine CAN do, decisions about what they OUGHT to be done grow increasingly difficult and complex. On the PERSONAL level, CPB provides guidance to patients, families and clinicians. On the PROFESSIONAL/EDUCATIONAL level, it teaches bioethics to medical students, clinicians and consumers. On the POLICY level, it brings diverse groups together to work collaboratively, recommend guidelines, develop programs and disseminate resources. “Practical” distinguishes CPB from other bioethics centers, mostly based in academic institutions and focused primarily on theoretical issues.
