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.
