SUMMARY:2025 Harvard Surgical Ethics Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Surgical Ethics Working Group (SEWG) at Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics is offering the 2025 Harvard Surgical Ethics Virtual Conference Series that will explore where ethical decision-making intersects with surgical practice. Session topics will include teaching bioethics\, transplant ethics\, global surgery\, and AI in surgery. The need for ethics education and expertise is driven by rapid advancements in technology\, evolving surgical practices\, teaching methods\, and global disparities in surgical care\, leading to more difficult ethical challenges for healthcare professionals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Format \nThis virtual conference series will be held weekly on Mondays over four weeks in April 2025. Each session will run from 7:00-9:00pm Eastern Time and will feature a different topic exploring timely and\, in some cases\, controversial ethical topics in surgery. Session topics and dates are as follows: \n\n“Teaching Bioethics” on April 7\, 2025\n“Controversies in Transplant Ethics” on April 14\n“Ethical Challenges in Global Health and Surgery” on April 21\n“Implementation of AI in Surgery: Ethical Considerations” on April 28\n\n  \nEach session will include three short talks (20-25 minutes each) by expert faculty from the Center for Bioethics and others. This will be followed by a moderated question and answer period with the speakers. The interactive format is designed to encourage participant engagement and address their specific questions. Presentations will be available on-demand for all paid attendees for six weeks after the conference. \nAt the end of each session\, participants will be required to complete a short online series of self-assessment questions. The course aims to enable participants to critically assess and apply ethical principles in their own practice. The website will be updated over the next few weeks to include a detailed schedule featuring exciting topics and speakers.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccreditation \nIn support of improving patient care\, Boston Children’s Hospital is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)\, to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. See site for details.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nObjectives \nUpon completion of this course\, participants will: \n\nUtilize case studies\, ethical theories and frameworks\, and artificial intelligence for the development and delivery of surgical ethics education\, ensuring that the methods promote integrity\, professionalism\, and respect for persons.\nCritically evaluate ethical dilemmas in transplantation including normothermic regional perfusion for organ donation\, vascularized composite allotransplants including uterus transplants\, and the use of brain-dead donors as experimental subjects for xenotransplantation using case-based discussions and current guidelines.\nAnalyze ethical challenges in global surgery with a focus on global health priorities and the complex effects of the loss of local expertise on efforts to improve surgical access in low-and-middle income countries to order to augment decision-making in resource-limited settings.\nUnderstand and assess the impact of artificial intelligence on clinical decision making\, identify potential risks and benefits\, where it might most easily and appropriately be deployed\, and propose strategies to ethically integrate AI into surgical practice.\nDevelop strategies for implementing ethical guidelines into daily surgical practice by compiling knowledge from case studies\, panel discussions\, and journals\, aimed at improving patient care and professional accountability.\n\n  \nRegistration \nTo register\, please visit the site for details and complete the online form.
