The SGIM Ethics Committee supports the mission of SGIM by promoting the ethical practice of general internal medicine, addressing ethical issues in institutional medicine, clinical practice, research, and health policy, and highlighting moral distress caused by conflicts about such issues. We support internists through research and education in clinical, organizational, and research ethics; advise SGIM leaders and members on managing conflicts of interest; and mentor GIM faculty and trainees for career development in ethics.
