How do you ethically engage in medical decision making with patients who may challenge your conscience, your personal beliefs, or your clinical convictions? What constitutes a “good” ethical decision when your patients cannot participate in decision making because they are incapacitated or incapable of communication?

These are the questions we will explore during the 18th annual ethics symposium sponsored by the Department of Medical Ethics for Northern California Kaiser Permanente. Please join us and our distinguished faculty for an invigorating day in which we will grapple with ethical decision making in everyday clinical practice.
