  • Institutional Ethics Committees

    Medical students are encouraged to observe monthly hospital ethics committee meetings via the MedEthics interest group! Please note that like any discussions of patient cases, these meetings are confidential and must be attended in a private setting.

    • UHealth Ethics Committee
    • JMH Adult Ethics Committee
    • Holtz Pediatric Ethics Committee

    Please reach out to our ethics committee liaisons above for more information about how to access the confidential Zoom invite for any of the committee meetings.

    If you are unable to attend the meetings, no worries! Our exec members post Education Points on our Microsoft Teams page following each meeting, so you will never miss the main takeaways. Our Teams can be accessed here: Medical Ethics Interest Group | General | Microsoft Teams
