| Abstrakt: | There is a need for the neuroscience community to advocate for uniformity in the determination of brain death/death by neurologic criteria (BD/DNC). Engagement with state medical societies is one example of this type of advocacy. After determining that her hospital policy on determination of BD/DNC was unclear and inconsistent with accepted standards, the principal author submitted a resolution to the Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS) in an attempt to encourage consistency in institutional policies on the determination of BD/DNC across the state. ISMS ultimately approved a resolution on this topic, but it has some shortcomings, so its impact is unclear. Nonetheless, other neuroscience clinicians are encouraged to engage with their state medical societies to advocate for uniformity in the determination of BD/DNC.
