Summary
Healthcare ethics committee (HEC) members frequently are called upon to provide guidance pertaining to conscientious objection. This guidance can include case consultation, policy creation, and education. For HEC members to effectively perform these functions, they will need to understand when an objection to providing a medical service is a conscientious objection, reasons for accommodating conscientious objectors, the need for ethical constraints on accommodation, and the basics of institutional management of conscientious objection. These issues are addressed in this chapter.
