The Health Ethics seminar, Integrating Ethical Reflection into Practice, will take place at the Marriott Residence Inn from March 30 to April 2. The goal of this seminar is to enable you to identify and resolve ethical issues, which arise in the clinical and organizational contexts of contemporary healthcare.

Utilizing an interactive and case-based approach, and drawing on the expertise of an interdisciplinary faculty, you will learn how to systematically address the multi-dimensional perspectives (i.e. patient, resident, family, practitioner, society) that are present in contemporary bioethical issues.
