摘要

Background and aim

In light of the growing importance of ethics support in healthcare, the Swiss Society for Biomedical Ethics commissioned a task force to develop a certification model for professionals in this field. The aim of this paper is to describe the process and the results of this task force.

Method

The task force “Swiss Certification of Healthcare Ethics Consultation (Swiss-CHEC)” based its work on David E. Kern’s model for curriculum development. The problem was formulated, needs were identified and competency-based learning objectives were determined in a Delphi-informed expert consultation.

Results

A total of 44 competency-based learning objectives were identified, of which 26 learning objectives were assigned to a basic certificate and 18 additional objectives to an advanced certificate. Subsequently, an educational strategy was developed defining entry requirements, the number of learning hours, the proportion of interactive practical elements and the amount of live instruction. The resulting certification model is scheduled to be implemented in the coming months following a consultation process.

Discussion

The model shows relevant differences compared to the certification by the Academy for Ethics in Medicine in Germany and the U.S. model of the Healthcare Ethics Consultant-Certified program, which are discussed in the conclusion.
