Committees

Committees are a great opportunity to be an active member of NSBA, promote national bioethics education efforts, enhance your own understanding of biomedical ethics, and build an interdisciplinary, welcoming community. If you join a committee, you will be added to that committee's email list so that committee chairs can reach out to provide opportunities to get involved and work on specific initiatives.

The NSBA 2025–2026 committees are as follows
