NYU Langone Health provides clinical ethics services requested by NYU-affiliated faculty, students, residents, staff, and postdoctoral scholars, and by patients and their families.

Ethics Committee

The Ethics Committee of the Medical Board at NYU Langone Hospitals provides a forum for faculty and staff to discuss ethically challenging cases, review hospital policies, and facilitate medical ethics education. Some members of the committee participate directly in clinical ethics consultation.

CTSI Clinical & Translational Research Ethics Consultation (CTREC) Program

CTREC is an in-house program that provides private consultations for NYU Grossman School of Medicine–affiliated faculty, residents, postdoctoral scholars, students, and staff to promote ethical research. Consults may be requested at no cost concerning ethical issues arising at any stage of research. CTREC is not a replacement for review and oversight by an institutional review board, data safety monitoring board, conflict of interest or compliance personnel, and the like.
