| Summary: | Notes that contemporary health care delivery and the interface of clinical professionals with patients and families are marked by complexity and pluralism and that within this modern matrix patients, families, professionals, and administrators frequently struggle with difficult ethical issues. Observes that these realities have significant implications for chaplains and for chaplains-in-training, a factor which has received the attention of the Bioethics Committee of the Professional Chaplains Association through its Bioethics Committee and resulting in a set of guidelines for the chaplain's appropriate roles in bioethical issues and for their role on bioethics committees. Describes the establishment of a bioethics module at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) in which chaplain residents are enabled to function as professional peers with other healthcare professionals and as competent chaplains with patients and families in bioethical decision making. Reports on the methods and the results of a pilot study based on the model described. |
