Ethics Fellow Jobs

The overall goal of the Ethics Fellowship program is to support qualified candidates to build the requisite skills and knowledge to pursue a successful career as a practicing healthcare ethicist. This training program focuses on core competencies that develop the Fellows’ ability to address ethical issues in diverse patient care settings, conduct ethics consultations, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration to improve the quality of care and moral climate, and build ethics capacity across a health system. Fellows receive supportive supervision and mentorship from the Clinical & Organizational Ethicists at Hamilton Health Sciences.

Ethics Fellows work and train in a dynamic team environment within the HHS Program for Ethics and Care Ecologies (PEaCE). PEaCE is an innovative, interdisciplinary and region-wide program that includes: clinical and organizational ethics practice at HHS; Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD); resilience support for healthcare workers; psycho-spiritual care; and collaborative regional ethics services through the Regional Ethics Network (REN). The REN provides clinical and organizational ethics support for five community hospitals across the Hamilton-Niagara-Haldimand-Brant and Waterloo-Wellington regions. In addition, the REN enables ethics capacity building within a wide range of community agencies, including community mental health and addiction services, adult day programs and different types of congregate settings (See: www.regionalethicsnetwork.com).
