After earning tenure, she became a core member of the UVA\u2019s Center for Biomedical Ethics and Humanities and chair of the School&#8217;s Acute and Specialty Care Department in 2015. The arc of her career, however, has been informed by both her profound personal and professional experiences in the neonatal intensive care unit \u2013 a place known for evoking great stress and compelling complicated ethical decision-making for families and clinicians alike.<\/p>\n<p>Part of a team that was lauded by the Americans Nurses Credentialing Center\u2019s Magnet designation team in 2016 for developing and evaluating a health system-wide intervention for moral distress among nurses and physicians, Epstein has for the last decade conducted important and varied ethics-focused research proejcts: from the development of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.virginia.edu\/content\/nicu-parents-skype-provides-next-best-thing\">a novel high-tech intervention<\/a> connecting distant NICU parents with their infants and caregivers to creating new courses to fortify the interprofessional learning of nursing and medical students, from examining violence\u2019s impact on the NICU experience to end-of-life experiences among parents and nurses in the NICU, Beth\u2019s work is both wide-ranging and hyper-focused on ethics, moral distress, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.virginia.edu\/content\/uva-researchers-find-palliative-care-use-may-prevent-clinician-burnout\">palliative care<\/a>, and the science of interprofessional collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Widely published in well-respected journals, Epstein has been tapped more than 50 times since 2007 to deliver presentations to national and international audiences and conferences on end-of-life care, nursing ethics, moral distress and its remedies, and presented more than a dozen posters on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>The author of a half-dozen book chapters and more than two dozen peer-reviewed publications, Epstein also remains steeped in the field, reviewing manuscripts for the <em>Journal of Gynecologic, Obstetric and Neonatal Nursing<\/em>, <em>Pediatrics<\/em>, <em>The American Journal of Bioethics<\/em>, <em>The American Journal of Bioethics Primary Research<\/em>, <em>HEC Forum<\/em>, <em>The Journal of Clinical Ethics<\/em>.
