In today's episode, we are joined by Centria Chief Clinical Officer Timothy Yeager, as well as BCBAs Jonathan Yelland and Kristina Grubbs to discuss the exciting launch of the Centria Ethics Committee. We explore the important "why" behind this initiative, core functions it will serve, as well as clinical perspectives and what team members can expect following its launch.

In collaboration with the Ethics Committee, the BT Focus Podcast will also be launching a monthly ethics series where you will hear roundtable discussions, navigate ethical scenarios, and dive deeper into ethical topics to guide your clinical practice.
