  Rebekah Apple\, MA\, DHSc\n\nAbstract:  The approach to clinical ethics h
 as evolved over time as a reflection of medical and technological advancem
 ent as well as continued philosophical thought and changing predominant so
 cial mores.  An understanding of how bioethics became integrated into clin
 ical medicine is necessary to recognize appropriate application and releva
 nce of bioethical principles.  This discussion will highlight landmark eve
 nts influencing the bioethics community\, functions of ethics committees\,
  and common goals and practices of high-performing committees.   \n\n11:30

                      Cynthia S. McCarthy\, DHCS\, REMT\n\nAbstract:  The l
 ogistics of different types of health care environments necessitate that e
 thics committee work is handled differently depending on the type of envir
 onment the issue is occurring in.  Identification of these differences and
  challenges will enable ethics committee members to strategically plan eff
 orts that best fit the environment they are in.  Additionally\, we will ex
 amine the perceptions of involving the ethics committee and discuss strate
 gies to destigmatize bringing areas of concern to the ethics committee.  F
 inally\, sample cases from a variety of heath care environments will be cr
 itiqued with the intent to evaluate areas for educational needs and policy
  review/development.\n\n2:15 pm - 3:15 pm    Breakout Sessions / Case Disc
