THE ProBE PROGRAM

     PROFESSIONAL/PROBLEM-BASED ETHICS         

ProBE is an educational intervention in ethics for health care professionals under discipline by their licensing boards or other oversight agencies.  The range of professional ethics ProBE addresses is applicable to all healthcare professions.  Past participants have included not only physicians, but also practitioners from dentistry, nursing, podiatry, chiropractic, and physician assistants. 

ProBE faculty members (listed below) are experienced medical educators whose work in ethics is clinically based and firmly grounded in the social and legal context of the health professions.  By using team-taught interventions, the faculty brings personal insights from diverse perspectives and a range of expertise from the areas of philosophy, theology, clinical ethics, health law, public health, health policy and management, and social and ethical theory.

BACKGROUND:

In 1992, the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners brought the members of The Ethics Group, LLC together with a special challenge; an increasing number of physicians had been identified by the Board for ethical infractions, suggesting the need for a focused educational intervention addressing these unique requirements. The Board envisioned an educational intervention that would deal broadly with medical professional and boundary issues, and directly with the specific violations commonly identified.  From this came ProBE, Professional/Problem-Based Ethics Program.

Since its inception in 1996, The ProBE Program has expanded to being offered nationally and has been subscribed to and/or endorsed by 44 licensing boards in the United States. It has also been utilized as a mediation program by subspecialty boards, and part of the PREP (Practitioner Remediation and Enhancement Partnership) "alternative to discipline" intervention.

In August 2007, CPEP - The Center for Personalized Education for Physicians merged with The Ethics Group, LLC to offer the various ProBE Programs under CPEP auspices. This collaboration promises the highest quality of assessment, evaluation and educational intervention based on nearly four decades of combined experience. The continuity of the ProBE Program's leadership and experienced  interdisciplinary faculty remains in place while it joins the larger framework of CPEP's organization. CPEP's reputation as a pioneer in personalized physician assessment and remediation compliments the ProBE Program's national reputation for ethics education targeted to the specific ethical lapses of health professionals under discipline.
