With a rise in recent lawsuits regarding malpractice and ethical dilemmas, healthcare facilities have found it in their interest to employ clinical ethicists or clinical ethics committees to ensure that ethical matters are solved safely and efficiently. Loma Linda University Medical Center focuses on clinical integrity and justice for its patients and utilizes an ethical committee approach.

"I believe a clinical ethicist or a medical ethics committee is a great part of the healthcare team. I took the time to read about Loma Linda University Medical Center's ethics committee and greatly respect what they do to ensure high-quality and ethical care is provided at all times. Every person here has a specific job to do, but having a source for your patients to turn to when it is time to make difficult decisions or for staff to seek counsel can only benefit the overall outcome of any situation here."

No matter how you answer, highlight that you would join Loma Linda UMC with a high degree of ethical integrity.

I believe a clinical ethicist plays an important role in healthcare teams. We will often face an ethical dilemma. This consultation service not only reduces the mental stresses of health care practitioners by navigating complex ethical issues. Also, it helps patients to achieve proper care. I feel grateful for this provision and think that this service will help the overall outcome.

Fantastic response! You demonstrate an understanding of the role, as well as an appreciation for the services clinical ethicists provide to both patients and staff. While this is a solid answer, you may want to further strengthen it by sharing an experience you have had with an ethical dilemma during your career, if possible.
