Amber R. Comer studies medical ethics and end-of-life care, examining how physicians make difficult decisions about patient care, informed consent, and the treatment of vulnerable groups such as incarcerated patients. A significant portion of her work focuses on palliative care (comfort-focused care for people with serious illness) and care decisions for stroke patients, including disparities in how different populations experience end-of-life care. She also addresses broader questions in clinical ethics, such as physician empathy and the ethical use of medical evidence.
