The NCBC Certification Program offers a rewarding and challenging educational opportunity to both foster and enhance knowledge in bioethics. Additionally, what is significant for me in my role as a Clinical Manager is that the program offers an up-to-date knowledge base of information, applicable to both my professional and personal life, that is faithfully grounded in the Catholic moral tradition.
I am undeniably grateful for tremendous learning experience of the NCBC’s Certification Program. I earnestly and highly recommend it to interested Catholics and to those of good will.

As a new VP of Mission and Ministry at a prestigious Catholic Hospital, I was eager to seek training in order to lead our Ethics Committee with greater confidence. Within weeks of beginning the NCBC Ethics Certification Program, I was integrating what I learned into hospital conversations. While going through the program, I was also leading an effort at my hospital to create a new policy statement which reflects our Catholic identity and the timeless wisdom of the ERDs. This course gave me everything I needed and more to facilitate robust conversations during the development of this policy.
