13. Our ethics scholars program is actually called the Disability Ethics Scholars Program, and is uniquely devoted to ethical issues related to disability. The scholars have readings in traditional bioethics as well as disability studies literature; narrative ethics; legal documents of classic cases such as Elizabeth Bouvia, David Rivlin, Michael Martin, and Larry McAfee; a variety of articles from professional discipline journals, and first-person stories. It is described here in the generic sense so that other institutions may consider adopting a similar style of program and shaping it to serve their patient populations and communities.
