Featuring Balint Lecturer and Presentation: Keisha Ray, PhD
Submission due date by November 1, 2024 to bioethics@amc.edu
The annual medical student ethics conference (AMSEC) is a two-day national medical student conference to address ethical issues that arise in medical education. The conference will be held virtually on April 10-April 11, 2025. The keynote speaker will be Keisha Ray, PhD, Associate Professor at the McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics and McGovern Medical School at UT Health Houston.
Call for Abstracts
The conference solicits abstracts from students from any accredited medical school in the United States. Over the past nine 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. These collaborations have resulted in a number of student-led publications in bioethics journals such as The Hastings Center Report, Bioethics, and Journal of Medical Ethics.
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 2025 is ” Drawing the Boundaries of Medicine.” 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: justice and equity in medicine, disparity in allocation of educational resources in medical school; learning on/with patients; humor in medicine; moral distress; hierarchy in medicine.

Advancing Trust in Science: Institutional Obligations to Promote Research Integrity
2024-10-10 08:00 - 16:00 | Hybrid, Room #213, Kendall Cram Lecture Hall, 6823 St. Charles Avenue,, New Orleans, LA, 70118, United States
A symposium hosted by the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy and the Institute for Translational Medicine & Therapeutics at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.
Several high-profile examples of research misconduct have recently come to light, amidst waning public trust in science. The issues are not new, although there are now novel tools for identifying misconduct, proliferating platforms for discussing allegations and publicizing concerns, and growing unease about politically motivated misconduct allegations. In addition, the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Research Integrity recently proposed new regulations to revise the Public Health Service Policies on Research Misconduct, with a final rule expected this year. Against this churning backdrop, how should institutional stakeholders – including universities and publishers – address concerns about research misconduct, from prevention to response? This symposium, which will be published in an open access special issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics in Spring 2025, will present commentaries on these issues from leading experts in ethics and law, those with experience identifying research misconduct, and those sharing relevant stakeholder perspectives, including researchers, academic leadership, and journal editors and publishers.
The event is hybrid and free registration is required. Visit the event webpage and RSVP here.
