SUMMARY:Ninth Annual Medical School Ethics Conference: "Drawing the Boundaries of Medicine": Call for Abstracts
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Balint Lecturer and Presentation: Keisha Ray\, PhD \nSubmission due date by November 1\, 2024 to bioethics@amc.edu \nThe 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. \nCall for Abstracts\nThe 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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers for 2025 Catholic Social Tradition Conference: "Signs of the Times: Interdisciplinary Responses to Religious Nationalism"
DESCRIPTION:This 2025 CST conference will remember the 60th anniversary of two significant Vatican II texts\, Gaudium et spes (Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World) and Dignitatis humanae (Declaration on Religious Freedom). Released on the final day of Vatican II\, these texts together invited serious consideration of the role of the church and other religious communities in relation to the state. \nThis year’s CST conference takes up Vatican II’s invitation to discern “the signs of the times” and to attend to the roles of church and state within civil society with a view toward the common good. These central CST themes warrant further exploration as Christian and other forms of religious nationalism represent a significant sign of the current time in particular national and international contexts. \nThis interdisciplinary conference invites historical\, constructive\, and comparative approaches as we consider the ecumenical\, interfaith\, and transdisciplinary challenges of religious nationalism. \nFor example\, what is the history of Christian nationalism in the United States and how is it related to similar movements in other parts of the world? What are the scriptural and theological resources available to analyze these expressions of Christian and national identity? To what degree and under what forms are the academy and the Christian churches complicit with the history and recent expressions of white Christian nationalism? What are the possible connections between the reemergence of various forms of religious nationalism with economic changes\, poverty\, inequality\, and environmental degradation? How has the rise of these political ideologies been facilitated by changes in laws and institutional structures? What are the implications of Christian and other forms of religious nationalism for the relationship of religious bodies and the state in civil society? What are the pedagogical challenges across the disciplines in addressing the significance of Christian and religious nationalism? Normatively\, what options for constructive engagement and responses emerge from our shared consideration of these questions? \nCall for Papers\nDeadline: November 1\, 2024 \nProposals for concurrent sessions that address the foregoing questions and related issues from a particular disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective are welcome. Especially encouraged are those proposals exploring the practical issues arising in educational contexts and in various social and political contexts. For example\, proposals might address responses to religious nationalism in religiously affiliated educational institutions\, the influence of technological changes on the dissemination of religious nationalist ideas\, or the present-day nationalist discourses in inter-religious spaces nationally and/or internationally. \nBoth individual paper and panel proposals are welcome. \nAcceptance of proposals will be communicated by December 1\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Call for Abstracts for the 19th International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation (ICCEC)
DESCRIPTION:The 19th International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation (ICCEC) will be held in Lausanne – Switzerland\, on June 5-7\, 2025\, with a day of pre-conference events on June 4. The congress will be placed under the following theme: \n“Plurality\, Power\, and Patient Care: The Socio-Political Dimensions of Clinical Ethics” \nClinical ethics consultation (HEC)\, or healthcare ethics consultation\, responds to moral uncertainty\, plurality\, and value conflicts in healthcare. In doing so\, it transcends the borders of healthcare and touches on contentious issues of societal and political importance\, such as violence\, migration\, gender identity\, artificial intelligence\, or climate change. Good clinical ethics must consider these broader socio-political issues\, and clinical ethics professionals may\, in turn\, contribute an interesting view on these socio-political debates. \nThe International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation (ICCEC) is a congress series focusing on the exchange of professional experience and scientific insights on clinical ethics across the globe. It is not linked to an association or society but driven by the enthusiasm of individuals and institutions in the field of clinical ethics. Founded by George Agich (USA) and Stella Reiter-Theil (Switzerland)\, its first conference took place in 2003 in Cleveland\, Ohio\, USA. Since then\, the ICCEC has been organized almost annually by institutions in North America\, Europe\, Asia\, South America\, and Africa. The ICCEC series is currently co-led by Katherine Wasson (Chicago) and Ralf J. Jox (Lausanne). \nAbstracts can be submitted until Friday\, 25 October 2024\, 11.59 pm CEST.\n\n\nMore information and submission at www.iccec2025.org .

SUMMARY:Ethics Grand Rounds: Reimagining Rural Health Equity: Understanding Disparities And Advancing Rural Policy\, Practice\, And Research
DESCRIPTION:Decades of underinvestment in rural communities\, health care\, and public health institutions left rural America uniquely vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time\, the pandemic prompted creative actions to meet immediate health and social needs and illuminated opportunities to address long standing rural health disparities. Acting on these lessons is critical to narrowing rural health disparities. This talk discusses the recent Health Affairs commentary\, “Reimagining Rural Health Equity: Understanding Disparities And Orienting Policy\, Practice\, And Research In Rural America” and offers principles for addressing the rural health disparities. \nLearning Objectives:  After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDescribe some of the major drivers of rural health disparities.\nDefine rural health equity.\nDiscuss the role of diverse methods\, including qualitative and community-based research\, in addressing rural health disparities.\n\nThis is an event of the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs (OACA)\, hosted by the Center for Bioethics\, and co-sponsored by the following U of MN Units: Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity\, School of Public Health; College of Pharmacy; Medical School; Program in Health Disparities Research\, Medical School; School of Dentistry; School of Public Health; School of Nursing and The Rural Health Research Center. \nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nAnne Sosin\, MPH\, is a public health practitioner and researcher at Dartmouth College. She has more than 15 years of experience leading global health and health equity programs at the international\, national\, and local level. Her current research focuses on rural health equity\, public health policy\, and homelessness in Northern New England. Anne serves as a lecturer in the Departments of Anthropology and Geography at Dartmouth. She holds a BA from Dartmouth College and a MPH from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. \nElizabeth Carpenter-Song\, PhD\, is a medical and psychological anthropologist at Dartmouth College. Her research strives to center the lived experiences of rural community members marginalized by poverty\, housing insecurity\, mental illness\, and substance use. Through ethnographic methods\, she engages with people and communities to learn about lived experiences of illness\, suffering\, and experiences navigating through complex landscapes of care. In partnership with people with lived experience\, direct service providers\, and researchers\, she aims to translate insights from close attention to families’ lived experiences in rural New England into actionable recommendations for change to improve health and wellbeing in the region. She holds a BA from Dartmouth College and a PhD from Case Western Reserve University.
