This dissertation research by an anthropology student will study how professional identity is established and negotiated by clinical bioethicists in medical settings in the US and Canada. Using methods of participant observation, structured and informal interviews, the student will study bioethicists at a teaching hospital in Houston Texas, members of the National Rural Bioethics Project in Missoula Montana, the Joint Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto, Canada, and in rural teaching hospitals in Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The student will test hypotheses dealing with differences in the roles of knowledge, skills, and character in credentialing professionals in the US and Canada; the different role of stakeholders and resource managers in the credentialing process in the two countries; the contextual and interpersonal nature of authority negotiation of these non-medical specialists in medical settings; and the multiple roles bioethicists will play in resolving problems of daily practice. In addition to contributing to the training of a young social scientist, this research will advance our understanding of how the ethical dimensions of medical care are worked out in real life, and how non-medical authorities gain legitimacy when they act as patient advocates in a medical setting.

本论文研究由人类学的学生将研究如何建立专业身份和谈判的临床生物伦理学家在医疗环境中在美国和加拿大。使用参与观察，结构化和非正式访谈的方法，学生将学习生物伦理学家在教学医院在得克萨斯州休斯敦，国家农村生物伦理学项目在蒙大拿州米苏拉，生物伦理学联合中心在加拿大多伦多大学，并在农村教学医院里贾纳和萨斯卡通，萨斯喀彻温省，加拿大的成员。学生将测试假设处理知识，技能和性格在美国和加拿大认证专业人员的角色差异;利益相关者和资源管理人员在两国认证过程中的不同角色;这些非医疗专家在医疗环境中的权威谈判的背景和人际性质;以及生物伦理学家在解决日常实践问题时所扮演的多重角色。除了有助于培养一个年轻的社会科学家，这项研究将促进我们的医疗保健的道德层面是如何在真实的生活中制定出的理解，以及如何非医疗机构获得合法性时，他们作为病人的倡导者在医疗环境。
