Is Medicine Still a Calling?
The conference solicits abstracts from students from any accredited medical school in the United States. Over the past eleven years, AMSEC has become a national venue for students to discuss ethical issues in medicine. We instituted a mentorship system, which pairs the authors of accepted abstracts with faculty mentors to help them develop their conference presentation.
The organizing committee invites abstracts for oral presentations on the ethical issues that arise in medical education because of one’s role as a medical student. The theme for AMSEC 2027 is “Is Medicine Still a Calling?” We invite submissions related to the conference theme and on any other topic tackling ethical issues in medical education. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: treatment over objection, justice and equity in medicine, disparity in allocation of educational resources in medical school; learning on or with patients; moral distress; hierarchy in medicine.’
