"Residual Problems, Lingering Questions:
The Nuance of Ethics in Hospice "


End-of-life decisions would seem to be settled once a patient has entered hospice,
yet ethical issues carry over from the acute care setting, blurring the bright line
between these two dramatically different environments.

The John and Marsha Ryan Bioethicist in Residence was established in 2006 to fund an annual residence and lecture by a law and/or medicine ethics scholar at the School of Law and School of Medicine at Southern Illinois University.

Each year a leading bioethics scholar will visit classes at the law school and provide a seminar for medical students in Carbondale and Springfield; organize interdisciplinary educational activities for students, residents, and faculty from both institutions; be available to mentor law and medicine students; offer a public lecture on his or her scholarship as it relates to law and medicine; and be invited to submit a written version of this lecture for publication in the Journal of Legal Medicine.
