Update

Update is a 4-page quarterly newsletter designed to keep readers informed about the National Center for Ethics in Health Care. A feature article in each Update offers a feature article describes in depth one of the Ethics Center's activities, initiatives, or programs. "Consultation Notes" highlights the Center’s Ethics Consultation Service, including brief discussions of timely questions in health care ethics brought to our attention by the field, while other columns provide the latest news about VHA’s National Ethics Committee­, health care ethics policy in VHA, and the schedule for upcoming National Ethics Teleconferences.
