This year’s conference will address ethical issues in priority-setting in health care.

Subsequent speakers will identify ethical issues arising in these and other priority-setting dilemmas and will explore possible resolutions. Speakers will include health officials, health policy analysts, physicians, economists, philosophers, and lawyers. The program will be of interest to a similar range of scholars and professionals interested in rigorous analysis of the normative dimensions of health policy.
Two-day conference on health resources prioritization. The presentation of three real-world cases will provide the backdrop for philosophical discussion on the issues raised.
