He is known for having created two of the major online graduate programs in bioethics. In the mid-1990s, his experience in providing resources to support ethics committees in community hospitals led him to explore online education. His mission has been to form a supportive learning community that enables experienced professionals to share their insights and support each other to meet their emerging clinical and administrative challenges.  The graduate bioethics programs of the Neiswanger Institute are the outcome of this guiding ideal.

He has been an articulate spokesperson for the just and equitable treatment of immigrant patients.  His writings argue for a prohibition on forced medical repatriation and the severing of any relationship between health insurance and immigration status.
