  2. Guidelines on managing patients with renal failure with psychological impairments
  3. Review and research the effectiveness and impact of learning activities
  4. Compassionate discharge home to die
  5. Understanding of risk in complex treatment decision-making

  • Build expertise on and keep abreast of current research in clinical ethics consistent with the work of CENTRES.
  • Serve as an observer on a clinical ethics committee, using experiences to inform the design of learning activities.
  • Grow the CENTRES network through outreach to members of the clinical ethics committees, professional bodies, and affiliated institutions.
  • Participate collegially in the broader activities of the Centre for Biomedical Ethics
  • Perform other related duties incidental to this job description.
