Summer Seminar in Health Care Ethics

August 2, 2023 (All day) to August 4, 2023 (All day)

35th Annual Summer Seminar in Health Care Ethics

This annual seminar provides an intensive introduction to the “four-box method” of analysis of ethical problems in clinical ethics, developed by Jonsen, Siegler, and Winslade in their book Clinical Ethics. Lectures are designed to familiarize participants with basic definitions and arguments in major topics of clinical ethics. They will address methods of case analysis and discuss cases, seeking to provide participants with skills and information to enable them to make competent ethical decisions in clinical situations and to assist others in doing so.

The conference format will incorporate asynchronous content tailored to clinicians as well as a live online program, including multi-disciplinary small group discussions designed to allow participants to better understand the ethical debates that bear upon each topic.
