The most common factors that trigger requests for ethics consultation are wanting to help resolve a conflict and wanting assistance in interactions with a difficult doctor, medical care team, family, patient, or surrogate.
Health Policy Advisement

Through issue research, historical context, and best practices, Strategies for Well-Being works in an advisory capacity with clients to craft health policy, informed consent, and research enrollment protocols.
