The MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics

This is a page for MacLean Center fellows, affiliates, and anyone with an interest in medical ethics. Founded in 1984 with generous support from Dorothy J.

MacLean and her family, the MacLean Center was the nation’s first program devoted to clinical medical ethics. Clinical medical ethics examines ethical issues that arise in encounters between patients, families, and physicians, and aims to improve the process and outcome of patient care. After twenty years, the MacLean Center is the leading program in the country devoted to the study and teaching of clinical ethics. The program has gained national and international prominence for its groundbreaking research and training in medical ethics.
