Meet the Team

Ethics consultants

These members of the St. Jude Section on Bioethics work directly with those requesting consultations or institutional support. When working with our team, you will have the opportunity to share your concerns along with other people involved in your child’s care. Bioethics consultants can help identify who is most affected by a decision and provide an open discussion for those involved. They will guide the conversation to help each person see options from the other person’s viewpoint. The bioethics consultants will not make a decision but will offer advice during the process.

Our bioethics consultants have special training in bioethics and extensive experience working with families, providers, and researchers to advise on ethical matters.
