Abstract
Clinical ethics consultants have become a presence in American medical centers. Despite the importance of their work, it is not currently possible for hospitals to evaluate candidates for positions, as they assess doctors’ qualifications in their “credentialing” procedures. This paper analyzes how the certification of clinical ethics consultants and the accreditation of CEC degree programs – key steps toward professionalization – might emerge for practitioners within this field. [Except where ambiguity would result, the abbreviation “CEC” will be used to refer both to the field – clinical ethics consultation – and the practitioner – the consultant.]
