SUMMARY:CARE Panel: The Ethics of Researching Psychedelics
DESCRIPTION:The study of psychedelics as therapeutic tools raises profound ethical questions about medicine\, society\, and patient care. This virtual panel brings together experts to explore critical questions: How do historical stigma and cultural context shape the development of psychedelic therapies? What role should public perception play in evaluating medical applications? How can researchers best protect potentially vulnerable participants while advancing scientific understanding? Join us for this nuanced discussion on developing ethical frameworks for responsible psychedelic research. \nFeaturing Panelists:  \nAndrew Peterson\, PhD (Assistant Professor of Philosophy\, George Mason University & Affiliate Researcher\, Penn Memory Center\, UPenn) \nSubhdeep Virk\, MD (Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health\, OSUMC) \nStacey Armstrong\, PhD (Senior Researcher & Associate Director of the Center for Psychedelic Drug Research and Education\, OSU) \nThis event will be presented with automated closed captions. If you wish to request traditional CART services or other accommodations\, please contact Layne Garrelts at garrelts.6@osu.edu. Requests made by 10 days prior to this event will generally allow us to provide seamless access\, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date. \nRegister here: https://osu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8BeICGnSR0C14L76QBLDNw#/registration

SUMMARY:University of Louisville’s 2024-2025 Virtual Health Care Ethics Speaker Series: "Queer Crip Ecologies of Dementia"
DESCRIPTION:Part of the intellectual life of the Health Care Ethics program is our ongoing online lecture series. This themed series consists of free and open virtual lectures/discussions occurring monthly during the academic year. Presentations are attended by students\, staff\, faculty\, health professionals\, and the general public. All events are free and open to the public. NEW! Events are accredited for Continuing Education credit for physicians (CMEs) and nurses (CNEs).  \nSpeaker:  \nKim Q. Hall\, Professor\, University of Alberta \nI earned a B.A. in Philosophy at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland\, Virginia\, where I was also the first student to graduate with a certificate in what was then called Women’s Studies. I earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy at State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. Prior to coming to the University of Alberta\, I was Professor of Philosophy and a faculty affiliate in the Gender\, Women’s\, and Sexuality Studies and Appalachian Studies programs at Appalachian State University\, where I also served as Humanities Council Coordinator (2012-2014) and Director of the Gender\, Women’s\, and Sexuality Studies Program (2014-2017). Throughout my career\, I have been interested in efforts to enhance equity\, diversity\, and inclusiveness in the profession. For example\, I have served as Co-Chair of the Advisory Board for Philosophy in an Inclusive (PIKSI) Key and as an inaugural member of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP) Committee on Accessibility\, Disability\, and Inclusion. I am excited to join the University of Alberta’s Department of Philosophy as Professor of Philosophy and to serve as Interim Director of the Institute for Intersectionality Studies. If I had to choose one thing that I have enjoyed about my career so far\, it’s the opportunity to continue to learn and think with others about matters of importance in our lives and world. \nEvent link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/5d676b16-b49d-493a-808a-138fc0e1570e@dd246e4a-5434-4e15-8ae3-91ad9797b209

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Enhancing Genetic Screening Access through Community Partnerships in the Cleveland African American Prostate Cancer Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 03/14/25 at 12pm ET for the next ELSI Friday Forum: Enhancing Genetic Screening Access through Community Partnerships in the Cleveland African American Prostate Cancer Project\, with our speakers: \n\nSydney N. Evans\, MSW\, C-CHW\nErika S. Trapl\, PhD\nModerated by Marsha Michie\, PhD\n\nRegistration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/T926pH_NTLeL-DBkQ1kzAA  \nAbstract: Genetic screening is crucial for identifying genetic risk factors for disease\, but marginalized groups often have low participation due to lack of access\, awareness\, and mistrust of healthcare systems. There is a need for intentional collaboration with community partners to address these concerns and allow community voices to actively participate in the design and implementation of programs. The Cleveland African American Prostate Cancer Project (CAAPP) is a partnership of academics\, clinicians\, and community partners working together to combine prostate cancer and genetic screening\, leveraging local barbershops as trusted hubs. Barbers were trained as health advisors\, connecting Black men over 40 with screening services. This session will explore how building relationships\, leveraging existing clinical and community partners\, and utilizing community health navigators can overcome barriers like trust\, cost\, and data ownership\, increasing participation and improving preventive health measures in marginalized communities.

SUMMARY:Professionalism & the Future of Medicine: What role does the health care delivery organization play?
DESCRIPTION:Professionalism is the basis of medicine’s contract with society. However\, increasingly\, genuine medical professionalism seems to have come under threat as market and bureaucratic forces shape the practice and delivery of medicine. How has the health care organization contributed to this environment\, and how should the health care organization operate in relation to medical professionalism? What mechanisms might facilitate organizational accountability to professionalism? Join us for a seminar and discussion exploring concepts of organizational professionalism and the future of medicine. \nFeaturing Fred Hafferty\, PhD and Tom Nasca\, MD\, MACP\, and moderated by Kelsey Berry\, PhD.

SUMMARY:The 50th Anniversary of the Declassification of Homosexuality As a Disease: Where Are We Today?
DESCRIPTION:Fifty years ago\, in 1974\, the American Psychiatric Association\, following controversial debates\, held an unprecedented vote to decide that homosexuality should no longer be listed as a “disease” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. Yet controversies have continued over how medicine and society should view queer identities\, including\, most recently\, transgender individuals. \nJoin us and a panel of experts for an exploration of these historical and ongoing tensions. \nSpeakers: \nRonald Bayer\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Sociomedical Sciences\, Mailman School of Public Health\, Columbia University \nGina Chua\, Executive Editor\, Semafor \nTia Powell\, M.D.\, Professor of Epidemiology and Psychiatry\, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center; Cofounder\, Slow Code Media \nModerated By: \nRobert Klitzman\, M.D.\, Program Director\, Bioethics; Professor of Psychiatry\, Columbia University Irving Medical Center \nThis event is cosponsored by the Making Gay History organization. \nMaking Gay History is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that addresses the absence of substantive\, in-depth LGBTQ+-inclusive American history from the public discourse and the classroom. By sharing the stories of those who helped a despised minority take its rightful place in society as full and equal citizens\, we aim to encourage connection\, pride\, and solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community—and to provide an entry point for both allies and the general public to its largely hidden history. \nRegistered guests will receive a Zoom link prior to the event. \nFor further information\, please contact Katherine Julia Mendis at kjm2148@columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Ethics Grand Rounds: Ethical Approaches to Migrant Health: A Membership Based Account
DESCRIPTION:The ethical imperative to protect the health of migrants in the United States is grounded in multiple frameworks\, including human rights\, public health ethics\, and justice-based theories. This Ethics Grand Rounds will focus on a membership-based account\, which argues that undocumented immigrants are embedded members of society who contribute economically\, socially\, and culturally—entitling them to health protections that protect their opportunities. Using restrictive migrant health policies as a case study\, Dr. Thalia Porteny will examine how exclusionary policies that limit access to healthcare coverage result in poorer health outcomes\, particularly in mental health. She will present an evidence base demonstrating how these policies exacerbate disparities\, increase healthcare costs\, and undermine ethical commitments to reciprocity and fairness. Ultimately\, this talk will explore policy pathways and advocacy efforts that align with ethical principles and public health goals\, emphasizing the role of clinicians\, institutions\, and policymakers in promoting more inclusive approaches to migrant health. \nJoin us on March 11th for a conversation on Migrant Health with Thalia Porteny\, PhD\, MSc\, and Division of Ethics Chief Sandra Soo-Jin Lee\, PhD. The discussion will include a Q&A session with guest speaker Eunice Rendón Cárdenas\, PhD\, an expert in migrant health and the Executive Director of Agenda Migrante and Red VIRAL. \nEthics Grand Rounds is a series organized by the Division of Ethics in the Department of Medical Humanities & Ethics. The goal of Ethics Grand Rounds is to engage our community of health professionals\, scholars\, scientists and trainees across career stages and disciplines by elevating important topics and debates in medical ethics that relate to clinical practice\, research\, implementation\, and education.

SUMMARY:Ethics Grand Rounds: “Graphic Narratives\, Comics\, and Illustration in Medicine and Medical Ethics”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Sherine Hamdy\, PhD\, University of California\, Irvine \nDr. Hamdy is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of California Irvine\, where she joined the faculty in 2017. Prior to that she was a tenured faculty member at Brown University where she taught since 2006. She is the author of Our Bodies Belong to God (University of California 2012)\, co-author of Lissa: a story of friendship\, medical promise\, and revolution (University of Toronto Press 2017) and co-creator of Landing a Place (Penguin Random house 2026). She teaches courses on medical anthropology and is currently working on a project about women comics creators in the Arab world and its diaspora. \nTalk Description: Medical journals and curricula have embraced the emerging field of graphic medicine — narrative medicine that juxtaposes images and text. Patients of chronic illness\, caretakers\, and health care practitioners have all created valuable accounts in this medium about their struggles to maintain their humanity in the often de-humanizing world of clinical encounters. In this talk\, Dr. Hamdy takes us through myriad examples to illustrate the rich capacities of graphic narratives to question day-to-day medical practices and experiences of chronic illness to give us new perspectives on disability\, patienthood\, caretaking and healing.

SUMMARY:Integrity in the Concept and Determination of Brain Death: Recent Challenges in Medicine\, Law\, and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will address concerns posed by the American Academy of Neurology’s issuance of updated 2023 Guidelines after an unsuccessful effort to revise the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA). \nParticipants will a unique opportunity to learn about\, discuss\, and strive to better address several key issues including: \n\nHow/Can we ensure\, with moral certitude\, that patients determined to be dead by neurologic criteria are dead according to the standards of a sound Christian anthropology and the law?\nHow/Can testing protocols for brain death be improved to accurately\, consistently\, and efficiently identify which patients are dead by neurologic criteria and which are not?\nWhat challenges might be encountered and appropriately addressed if implementing more rigorous clinical standards and protocols results in some delay to the process of vital organ recovery?\nWhat ethical measures and resources are required to better uphold key ethical goods including patient dignity\, informed consent\, and respect for conscience?\n\nThe symposium will feature leading scholars on the core clinical\, anthropological\, and ethical issues at stake and will feature plenty of time for dialogue. \nThis symposium shall be conducted to achieve fair representation of distinct positions\, robust dialogue among participants\, and practical results.

SUMMARY:How Can a Patient Be Dead While Their Heart Still Beats? Addressing Ethical Challenges in the Determination of “Brain Death”/Death by Neurological Criteria
DESCRIPTION:The determination of a person’s death is an important process involving both medical and societal considerations. Controversy and confusion regarding the determination of death by neurologic criteria persist at the bedside\, in the community\, and within broader policy discussions. This leads to ethical dilemmas\, narrative misunderstandings\, and a lack of clarity that can result in both medical and moral harms. How can clinicians ensure death by neurologic criteria is determined ethically\, accurately\, and consistently? How should clinicians respond to patients’ and families’ unfamiliarity with the process of determining death? Specifically\, how should clinicians approach the concept of death by neurological criteria when patients and families may not be aware of\, or open to the concept? This session will review prevailing legal and medical standards for determining death\, and offer practical strategies for how to ethically approach conflict when death by neurological criteria is at issue. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDescribe the social importance of the meaning and determination of death\, and the two current legal standards for the determination of death\, either: 1) Circulatory or\, 2) Brain Death/Death by Neurological Criteria.\nDescribe the procedures for the determination of death by neurological criteria.\nIdentify strategies to address common ethical issues that arise in the determination of death by neurological criteria.\n\nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nMargy McCullough-Hicks\, MD\, is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Minnesota and Affiliate Faculty at the Institute for Health Informatics. She is a vascular neurologist specializing in cerebrovascular disease and stroke neuroimaging and has a strong interest in clinical and research ethics.

O’Byrne (Conclave\, Million Dollar Baby)\, Michael Potts (The Wire\, The Piano Lesson)\, and Peter Marks (former chief theater critic for The Washington Post). \n“These performances are an exceptional way to mark the Foundation’s anniversary\,” said Michelle Groman\, JD\, President & CEO. “They draw from the Foundation’s past commitment to arts funding\, remain grounded in our current bioethics focus\, and look toward the future by bringing bioethics to new audiences through a less traditional medium.” \nThe DC Public Library and Ebenezer United Methodist Church-Capitol Hill are partners and hosts of the two events. \nFebruary 21\, 2025\n7:00 pm – 9:30 pm EST\nEbenezer United Methodist Church\n400 D Street SE\nRegister here \nFebruary 22\, 2025\n2:00 pm – 4:30 pm EST\nMartin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library\n901 G Street NW\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Ethics Case Conference: "Is the MOLST Valid? Is the Patient Refusing? Ethics Amidst Unclear Goals of Care"
DESCRIPTION:With Daniel Kim\, PhD\, MPH & Christen Paradissis\, PhD \nDr. Kim received a PhD in Religious Ethics from the University of Chicago and an MPH in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Yale University. He was a 2021-22 fellow of the MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago. His research examines ethical issues by attending to basic questions of self\, community\, and culture\, specifically issues in clinical moral distress\, end-of -life care\, ethics education\, health justice\, and religion and medicine. His recent works have been published in the Hasting Center Report\, American Journal of Bioethics\, Journal of Religion and Health\, Journal of Intensive Care Medicine\, and Teaching and Learning in Medicine. \nDr. Paradissis is a clinical ethics fellow at the Alden March Bioethics Institute. She obtained a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Utah in 2024. In addition to her doctoral work\, Dr. Paradissis has served as a writing panel member for the American Nurses Association’s 2024 revision of the Code of Ethics\, was a nursing ethics intern at the Cleveland Clinic in 2021 and practiced a registered nurse from 2016-2019. Dr. Paradissis’ research focuses on the ethics of trust\, betrayal\, and blame in tripartite relationships in the health care setting\, as well as discerning the boundaries of professional practice. She is interested in thinking about the role health care institutions play in setting expectations of trust between nurses and patients\, about how breakdowns in trust occur when nurses\, patients\, and institutions blame one another\, and about what practices of blame between such parties are morally permissible. \nPlease join us! There will be plenty of time for questions afterwards!

SUMMARY:2025 Healthcare in a Civil Society: Who Will Care for Us? Quality\, Access and Ethical Integrity in the Future of Primary Care
DESCRIPTION:In an era of rapid transformation in healthcare we must ask who will be caring for us 10 years from now?  What will the future of primary care look like?  Will it be high quality?  Will it be accessible to vulnerable populations?  Will it be provided with ethical integrity? \nHealthcare in a Civil Society 2025 will address the pressing issues facing the healthcare system\, especially in the delivery of primary care.  This engaging event features an internationally recognized content expert and an expert panel as we seek to explore the evolving landscape of primary care and discuss strategies for ensuring that the system remains both effective and equitable. \nThis symposium will examine the important elements of a healthcare system – quality of care\, access to services\, and ethical integrity – through a keynote presentation and panel discussion.  To do this we will explore the future of the primary care workforce\, the barriers to providing equitable access to healthcare services and innovations that can help to alleviate the workforce problem and bridge the gaps in care.  Key topics will include the impact of technological advancements on care delivery\, the importance of maintaining high standards amidst increasing demand\, and the ethical consideration of balancing patient needs with resource constraints. \nParticipants will gain insights into innovative models of care that are reshaping the primary care environment\, such as patient-centered medical homes and integrated care systems. Discussions will also focus on strategies to improve access for underserved populations and ensure that all patients receive equitable\, high-quality care. \nThe event aims to foster a collaborative dialogue among healthcare providers\, policymakers\, and community leaders to develop actionable solutions and forward-thinking policies. By addressing these critical issues\, “Who Will Care for Us?” aspires to pave the way for a more resilient and ethically sound primary care system that is prepared to meet the needs of future generations. \nRegistration cost is $25\nRegistration cost with CE credit is $40\nRegistration cost for full/part time students is $10 (ID will be required at check-in) \nTarget Audience\n\n\n\nThis program is open to all healthcare professionals who work in primary care\, healthcare institutions and academia.  Full-time and part-time students are welcome and will receive a discounted rate. \nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\nAt the conclusion of this activity\, participants should be able to: \n\nSummarize the evolution of primary care delivery and the trajectory in which it is headed;\nDiscuss who the primary care providers of the future will be and how primary care will be delivered;\nExplain the barriers patients experience in accessing primary care\, particularly for underserved populations\, and how that may change in the future;\nEvaluate the role of technology to enhance access and quality in primary care and the impact it will have on primary care delivery;\nExamine the ethical frameworks that guide decision-making in primary care settings\, focusing on patient-centered care;\nDiscuss the importance of teamwork among healthcare professionals in delivering comprehensive primary care; and\nDescribe potential future challenges in primary care delivery and brainstorm strategies to ensure ethical integrity and quality care for all patients\n\nKeynote Speaker: Nancy Dickey\, MD. President Emeritus\, Texas A&M\, Health Science Center \nDr. Nancy W. Dickey is a past president of the American Medical Association and past chair of the AMA Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Building Infrastructures to Enhance Community Engagement Work
DESCRIPTION:This ELSI Friday Forum is co-hosted with The Broad Institute. Community engagement is increasingly seen as a necessary component of genetic and genomic research. One major rationale for community engaged genetic research is to assure that benefits of research are aligned with community needs and goals. Assuring broad benefits also requires broad representation in genetic and genomic research participant populations. Organizations such as the American Society for Human Genetics have put forward guidance to advance community-engaged research\, which was aimed at the scientific community. However\, there are structural barriers to the advancement of community-engaged research that may require the action of institutions such as scientific journals\, research funders\, and academic research organizations. This session will address ways that structural and systemic factors can lower barriers to effective community engagement in genetic and genomic research. \nPanelists: Ishita Das\, PhD\, PMP; Alycia Halladay\, PhD; and Celia van der Merwe\, PhD. \nModerator: Heini Natri\, PhD. \n  \nContact Email: info@elsihub.org \nRegistration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dw1MMk8NSeiX08gNIMYRsA#/registration
