Clinical Ethics Education Council
The purpose of the Clinical Ethics Education Council (CEEC) is to advance the understanding and application of clinical ethics within our healthcare community through comprehensive education and collaboration. By guiding the planning of Ethics Grand Rounds, coordinating Continuing Medical Education activities, shaping educational topics for relevant programs, and promoting participation in ethical discussions, the council aims to cultivate a culture of ethical practice and integrity among healthcare professionals and stakeholders across our campus and beyond. The Council will meet monthly and will report out to the CBH sponsors each quarter. 

Ethics Grand Rounds
Ethics Grand Rounds (EGR) represents a dynamic initiative, proudly supported by the Center for Bioethics and Humanities and run by the Clinical Ethics Education Council (CEEC). Each session is crafted to showcase compelling case studies and pressing ethical issues. Through engaging presentations and lively dialogues, participants delve into the nuances of clinical ethics, fostering an environment of learning and exploration.

These free continuing education opportunities are open to the community at large and are attended by AMC faculty, staff and students, as well as an ever-expanding regional and national audience. CMEs are offered. Join our mailing list.
