Pediatric Clinical Ethics Program at Children's National Hospital
The Pediatric Clinical Ethics Program (CEP) offers education and support/consult services to faculty, staff, and patients at Children’s National Hospital. Their team helps parents, patients, and providers navigate ethical concerns and dilemmas that can present in all aspects of patient care. Currently, the CEP does not have an affiliated ethics fellowship program, nor an endowed chair fund.

Some areas of work address: end-of-life care, conflict of interest, cognitive dissonance and team ethics, informed consent, confidentiality, equity of resources, patient safety, and religious or cultural implications that affect care options.

The Pediatric Clinical Ethics Program has a Pediatric Clinical Ethics Committee (CEC) consisting of both Children’s National Hospital employees and community members with a background in ethics. This committee meets monthly to discuss and advise on consults brought to the consult service and to promote education. 

Members of this committee include ethicists, physicians and nurses from multiple specialties, social workers, chaplains, genetic counselors, parent navigators,  attorneys, child life specialists, psychologists, and community members with a background in ethics.
