Abstract

This paper argues that those that engage in Clinical Ethics Consultation ought not to pursue credentialing or accreditation as a group, or pursue anything equivalent to board certification. In so doing, they lose one of the greatest goods of clinical ethics consultation, namely floundering about in localized moral inquiry.

Keywords: Clinical Ethics Consultation, bioethics consultation
