Certification Program Testimonial: Ben Walther

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.
