This booklet outlines the recommended updated competencies for ethicists working within Catholic health care. Revised in 2018 by CHA’s Theologian and Ethicist Committee, the ethics competencies take into account the multi-faceted role of ethics in today’s health environment. Beyond traditional clinical consultation services, ethicists advise on organizational decision making, moral formation programming, and system-wide structures regarding ethics integration. The need for a trained professional who can span regional and local level issues continues to expand. We hope that this tool will help to advance this important role going forward.
