Expert improved ethics committee internal perception.

Opened lines of communication with all parties and resolved issue quickly. Overcame resistance, resulting in departments feeling more inclined to request consultations from committee. Expert carefully balanced religion and bioethics. Case came before CHOP's ethics committee regarding a family with strict religious beliefs which conflicted with a physician's ethical responsibility to his patient.

She consulted with family's Rabbi for guidance who brought in additional religious leaders to assist in the decision process, determining best possible outcome.
