Cleveland Clinic's Clinical Ethics Immersion Program (CLEIP) is a rigorous and
innovative learning experience that combines a three-day preparatory intensive
course and a two - or three - week clinical ethics immersion customized to meet
participants' individuals needs and interest.

During the intensive course, participants will enhance their knowledge of
classical methods of ethics consultation and emerging approaches in clinical
ethics through skill-building workshops and experiential exercise. During the
clinical immersion, participants will:

 * Work one-on-one with Cleveland Clinic faculty bioethicists.
 * Participate on a high-volume ethics consultation service that conducts over
   600 consultations annually.
 * Integrate into the full spectrum of Center for Bioethics activities,
   including interdisciplinary rounds, committee meetings, and educational
   activities.
 * Engage in reflective writing with a potential for collaborative publications.

“As a professor of law and bioethics, participating in CLEIP brought me
face-to-face with the issues I write and teach about. I learned so much from the
CLEIP team, the Cleveland Clinic clinicians and staff, and the patients who
entrusted their care to us. The integration of theory and practice that the
CLEIP experience provided has made me a better scholar, teacher, and advocate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Participants will have the opportunity to learn from Cleveland Clinic Center for
Bioethics faculty, whose areas of expertise include:

 * Clinical Ethics Program Development
 * Informed Consent & Decision-Making Capacity
 * NeuroEthics
 * Pediatric Ethics
 * Reproductive Ethics
 * Research Ethics
 * Transplant Ethics

Participants will benefit from the Center's 30-year history of innovation and
integration into the core fabric of one of the nation's best hospital systems.
Cleveland Clinic's health care delivery model serves as an example of
sustainability in this era of healthcare reform; the employed-physician model of
the main campus and the combined employed and private-practice model of the
system's community hospitals provide participants with a full spectrum of
institutional cultures, including a faith-based hospital, in which clinical
ethics consultants practice.

Class size is limited and participants are selected competitively in order to
foster relationships and extend professional networks.

Curriculum


CURRICULUM

CLEIP participants will gain an appreciation of the full spectrum of a clinical
ethics program through the combined intensive classroom learning and ethics
consultation immersion experiences. Participants are expected to commit to both
components of the program.

The program will begin with the three-day classroom intensive at Cleveland
Clinic on April 12-14, 2024, taught by Cleveland Clinic faculty. The intensive
weekend will primarily focus on ethics consultation skill-building through
workshops and experiential learning exercises, all designed to enable
participants to practice their ethics consultation skills in a supportive
classroom learning environment. The small class size contributes to the
individualized, supportive environment and fosters long-term professional
relationships among participants.

Topics covered include:

 * Ethics Consultation Models & Approaches 
 * Clinical Ethics within Institutional Culture
 * Clinical Ethics Program Development
 * Ethics Committee Structure & Responsibilities
 * Consultation Toolkits
 * Consultants' Roles
 * Ethical Analysis
 * Communication Skills
 * Note-Writing Skills
 * Relationship-Centered Trust
 * Facilitating Family Meetings

The CLEIP Directors will work with each participant to develop a plan for the
immersion experience specifically tailored to his or her needs and interests.

During the immersion experience, participants will work one - on - one with
Bioethics faculty and will:

 * Participate in ethics consultations
 * Attend Center for Bioethics meetings and educational opportunities
 * Produce three case write-ups, each reflecting a different aspect of ethics
   consultation: consultation process, ethical analysis, and emotional impact

HEAR FROM OUR ALUMNI

“Through CLEIP, I witnessed how thoughtful communication, education and
objectivity by the ethicists had a profoundly positive impact on the patients,
caregivers and family members when there was uncertainty about care options.
 Participating in CLEIP reinforced my belief that bioethics truly can improve
the health care system and furthered my commitment to devoting my career to
clinical ethics.”

– Diane McNamara, JD, LLM, MA
CLEIP Class of 2019
Private Practice Attorney

“CLEIP gave me a solid foundation in clinical ethics. While I was new to
clinical ethics and was doing a lot of foundational reading, CLEIP helped me
with the practical application of the concepts and principles in ethics. The
CLEIP leadership and faculty are very knowledgeable, good teachers, very
approachable, and most important of all, very humble in acknowledging the
uncertainties that are inherent in situations to which they are called to help.
I am fortunate to have had this immersion learning opportunity early in my
career in ethics.”

“As a physician who was transitioning into a role involving ethics consultation,
participation in the Cleveland Clinic CLEIP program was a perfect addition to my
Masters studies in Biomedical Ethics. The Intensive provided an excellent ethics
review and helped me apply academic concepts to daily clinical practice. The
Immersion experience was truly unique, offering the opportunity to actually
participate in a mature and robust ethics program. I actively participated in
clinical ethics consultations alongside leaders in the field, gaining valuable
insight into various approaches for Ethics Committees, attending a variety of
meetings in both academic and regional health centers, but most importantly, the
network of friends and mentors I gained has proven a tremendous resource.

My time with Cleveland Clinic gave me needed consultation skills and confidence
when leading difficult family meetings. It provided a vision for integrating
ethical consideration proactively into daily patient rounds, and demonstrated a
standard for effective documentation. I have had wonderful success using the
experience I gained from the CLEIP program as a model for establishing a
clinical ethics consultation service in my own community. It was an incredibly
efficient and valuable means of gaining the skills I needed to serve our
patients and our institution.”

 * Not sure? Contact us. We’ll be happy to talk to you about CLEIP.

I am considering this program and also looking at bioethics fellowships. Which
would better prepare me for a career as a clinical ethicist?

CLEIP is not designed to adequately prepare you to begin work primarily as a
clinical ethicist; for those career aspirations, a bioethics fellowship would
better suit your learning needs.

I have worked in hospitals for 20 years and was just appointed to lead the
Ethics Committee at my hospital. Is this program right for me?

Yes! You will learn about ethics program development, develop or enhance your
ethics consultation skills, and explore ways in which the ethics consultant’s
role differs from your primary role.

I recently completed a Master’s Degree in Bioethics online and am trying to
figure out what career path I would be most interested in pursuing.

Participation in CLEIP will give you the opportunity to connect your academic
expertise with the realities of clinical medicine, and may help clarify where
your interests lie (i.e., clinical ethics or academia.)

I am a lawyer and serve on the local hospital’s Ethics Committee. Is this a good
program for me?

Yes! As a CLEIP participant, you will see a wide-array of ethics consultations,
ranging from relatively straight-forward requests for clarification or guidance
to complex ethical dilemmas.

I just finished college and want to become a doctor. Bioethics is so
interesting! Is this program right for me?

Not yet. While we encourage you to pursue your interest in bioethics as you
proceed on your path through medical school, this program is not intended as an
introduction to bioethics. Fortunately, there are other great bioethics programs
available that might suit your needs.

Are there choices for accommodations?

Yes, there are several hotels in the area, and a special rate has been secured
for the intensive weekend. This information will be available to accepted
participants.
