The MacLean Center Prize

The MacLean Center Prize in Clinical Ethics and Health Outcomes celebrates individuals who have made transformative contributions to the field of clinical medical ethics through scholarship, practice, leadership, and policy development. The MacLean Center Prize in Clinical Medical Ethics celebrates a practical approach that helps patients, families, and health professionals reach good clinical decisions. Clinical Medical Ethics achieves this by taking into account both the medical facts of the situation as well as the patient’s personal preferences and values.
