The Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) is an integral part of the UTMB System Ethics Program to provide comprehensive, integrated ethics support for the institution. The IEC is a multidisciplinary forum for analyzing and discussing ethical issues and standards affecting patient care, professional education, and community interests in service to the organizational mission of improving health. This mission is fulfilled through the Committee’s advisory, educational, policy management, and service functions.

Anyone may submit a membership application. The Committee seeks individuals who have an interest and commitment to ethical discourse, diversity of perspective, and respect for divergent opinions.

 All students are encouraged to apply.

The commitment term for new members is three years (student commitment is for one year). Meetings occur monthly, with the possibility of emergent meetings on an ad hoc basis should the need arise.

 If you are interested in serving on the committee click here to complete an online application.

The application deadline is July 18, 2025. Applicants selected for the IEC Committee will be notified in mid-August.
