Biography

Mathew David Pauley was the postdoctoral fellow with MH&B for the 2009-2010 term. While at Northwestern, Mathew spent his time exploring the intersection of conflict resolution and medicine, ethics consultation and medical futility.  After his fellowship, Mathew left Chicago for California, where he took a position with Kaiser Permanente as the Medical Bioethics Director of Fontana and Ontario Vineyard Medical Centers. He is currently the chair of the Conflict Resolution and Bioethics Affinity Group with the American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities.

Prior to Northwestern, Mathew completed a two-year fellowship in clinical ethics with Memorial Health in Springfield, Illinois—an opportunity that provided him with significant experience performing ethics consultations, crafting hospital policy and working alongside clinicians across the hospital.

Mathew earned his master’s degree in bioethics from the Medical College of Wisconsin, and his law degree from Marquette University, where he also completed master’s work in dispute resolution. It is at the convergence of the fields of health care provider practice, bioethics and dispute resolution where Mathew focuses his efforts.
