The first ethicists of the 1970s paved the way for the three most familiar models of clinical ethics consultation: (1) a single consultant, (2) a member of a hospital ethics committee, and (3) a member of a subcommittee of a hospital ethics committee. Within the single consultant model there are (A) the lone ethicist (a member of hospital staff, working alone when consulting) and (B) the independent ethicist (a freelance, external consultant, working alone). This article discusses the structure and opportunities offered by the freelance, independent ethicist model, and provides guidance for those who employ freelance, independent ethicists, as well as guidance for ethicists who are considering adopting this practice model.
20 世纪 70 年代的第一批伦理学家为临床伦理咨询的三个最常见模型铺平了道路：（1）单一顾问；（2）医院伦理委员会成员；（3）医院伦理委员会小组委员会成员。在单一顾问模型中，有（A）单独的伦理学家（医院工作人员，咨询时独自工作）和（B）独立的伦理学家（自由职业者，外部顾问，独自工作）。本文讨论了自由职业者、独立伦理学家模式提供的结构和机会，并为那些雇佣自由职业者、独立伦理学家的人提供了指导，以及为那些正在考虑采用这种实践模式的伦理学家提供了指导。
