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:Doctor\, Will You Pray For Me? Medicine\, Chaplains\, and Healing the Whole Person
DESCRIPTION:The modern world faces religious\, spiritual and existential quandaries\, as new technologies redefine the beginnings and ends of life. Excruciating choices arise about when to turn off the machines – whether and when we should “play God.” The COVID-19 pandemic made these dilemmas ever more acute. Increasingly\, however\, public discourse on religion and spirituality is polarized\, with evangelicals on one side and vehement atheists on the other. \nThe book explores how patients and families struggle to make sense of serious disease and threats of death and other medical crises\, seeking hope\, purpose and larger connections beyond themselves. Physicians and other clinical staff are frequently uncomfortable with these issues\, and chaplains have been filling the void\, developing valuable approaches and insights. Most Americans will die in hospitals or nursing homes\, and face existential and spiritual quandaries. Many of their prior religious and spiritual beliefs will fall short\, and chaplains will often be the ones to assist\, partly by reframing narratives and understandings of illness and spirituality. Yet people often know little\, if anything\, about these professionals. Klitzman presents stories about the spiritual lives of patients and explores the role of chaplains – who they are\, what they do and the challenges they face. \nDrawing on in-depth interviews and the author’s personal experiences\, Doctor\, Will You Pray for Me? provides vital information that can assist in medical care decisions. Dr. Klitzman argues that a better understanding of the relationship between these realms will enable more holistic and humane treatment of patients. \nFor more information about this event\, please contact Athina Fontenot at af3018@columbia.edu. \nFor additional information about program offerings at Columbia University’s School of Professional Studies\, please contact an Admissions Counselor at 212-854-9666 or inquire@sps.columbia.edu

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:ELSI Friday Forum: The Summer Internship for INdigenous Peoples in Genomics
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, October 11 at 12pm ET for ELSI Friday Forum: The Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING) – Beyond Settler Science\, with speakers:\n\n\nElizabeth Nelson\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Anthropology\,  Southern Methodist University\n\n\nJoseph Yracheta\, MS\, DrPHc\, Executive Director and Vice President\, Native BioData Consortium\n\n\nModerated by Kim TallBear\, PhD\, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples\, Technoscience\, and Society\, University of Alberta\n\n\n\nScientists from dominant genomic institutions are beginning to recognize the ways in which they have been and continue to be non-inclusive and harmful to marginalized communities\, especially to Indigenous groups. In response\, these groups have established programs worldwide that are based on Indigenous knowledge\, expertise\, and governance to move toward decolonization of genomics. These programs are designed to disrupt dominant approaches\, build Indigenous capacity and scientific literacy\, including laboratory\, classroom\, and field training in genomic sciences\, ethical and social implications\, and Indigenous knowledge. As such data has become the targets of commercialization and Native peoples are seen as bioproperty\, international and intersectional concepts of law have increasingly been one of SING’s points of discussion. This approach in SING goes beyond simply integrating Indigenous perspectives; it actively develops and supports Indigenous science. By doing so\, it aims to provide effective and sociopolitically appropriate solutions to today’s most pressing scientific and ethical questions. This session will describe the Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING)\, the distinctive features of their educational programs and related research\, and community collaborations that aim to decolonize and make useful genomics for Indigenous Peoples.

SUMMARY:Advancing Trust in Science: Institutional Obligations to Promote Research Integrity
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSeveral 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?

SUMMARY:Doctor\, Will You Pray For Me?
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a fascinating presentation of Dr. Robert Klitzman’s new book\, Doctor Will You Pray For Me? Medicine\, Chaplains\, and Healing the Whole Person. \nThe modern world faces religious\, spiritual and existential quandaries\, as new technologies redefine the beginnings and ends of life. Excruciating choices arise about when to turn off the machines – whether and when we should “play God.” The COVID-19 pandemic made these dilemmas ever more acute. Increasingly\, however\, public discourse on religion and spirituality is polarized\, with evangelicals on one side and vehement atheists on the other. \nDrawing on in-depth interviews and the author’s personal experiences\, Doctor\, Will You Pray for Me? provides vital information that can assist in medical care decisions. Dr. Klitzman argues that a better understanding of the relationship between these realms will enable more holistic and humane treatment of patients. \nFor more information about this event\, please contact Athina Fontenot at af3018@columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Ethics Grand Rounds: "The Ethics of Medication Adherence Monitoring in the Age of AI: Patient-Centered\, Not Device Centered"
DESCRIPTION:Herald Schmidt\, PhD\, MA\, is an Associate Professor of Medical Ethics and Health Policy\, a Research Associate at the Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics\, and a Senior Fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute\, all at the University of Pennsylvania. His research interests are centered around improving opportunity and reducing disadvantage for marginalized populations in health promotion and healthcare priority setting. Before coming to Penn\, he was a Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy and Practice at the Harvard School of Public Health\, and for seven years served as Assistant Director of the U.K.’s Nuffield Council on Bioethics in London. \nTalk Description: For a number of reasons\, patients do not take medications as prescribed. Currently\, understanding of medication adherence is largely based on patient’s report\, biochemical testing\, or indirect measures such as prescription filling records. However\, a new set of likely disruptive digital and AI-based technologies looks set to profoundly challenge the existing paradigm\, by enabling remote monitoring of adherence in real-time. This talk outlines the main rationales underlying adherence monitoring\, and describes a central range of novel technological approaches. Key ethical issues are discussed\, focusing on the concepts of preference sensitivity\, proportionality\, and the least restrictive alternative\, especially as they apply to monitoring adherence in Tuberculosis treatment.

SUMMARY:Faith Sommerfield Memorial Lecture: Living Well\, Dying Well
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Description: \nOn behalf of the Columbia University School of Professional Studies Program in Bioethics and the Completed Life Initiative\, we would like to cordially invite you to attend the 2nd Annual Faith Sommerfield Memorial Lecture on Thursday\, September 26th\, 2024 at 6:15pm. \nThis Memorial Lecture series commemorates the late Ms. Faith Sommerfield’s lifelong interest in autonomy and end-of-life care\, specifically regarding the notion of how all individuals might live a completed life. In 2019\, Ms. Sommerfield founded the Completed Life Initiative\, a New York City non-profit dedicated to pondering these important questions. Professor Peter Singer established the theme of “Living Well\, Dying Well” for the inaugural 2023 lecture. \nOur lecture this year honors Professor Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek from ?ódz?\, Poland. Professor de Lazari-Radek’s professional expertise is on utilitarianism and notions of what it means to live well. She has also developed a personal perspective towards dying well and the completed life\, specifically writing and speaking about her fight against breast cancer last year. \nSpeaker Bio: \nKatarzyna de Lazari-Radek (1975- ) is a professor in the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of ?ódz?\, Poland. For the last 20 years she has studied the subject of well-being\, happiness and pleasure. Philosophically\, she argues for the maximization of pleasure and diminishing of pain among as many beings as possible. She believes she is on a mission to help others to live a good and enjoyable life based on philosophical\, psychological and neurobiological research. \nHer main research interest focuses on the thought of a late Victorian philosopher\, Henry Sidgwick. Together with Peter Singer she wrote two books: The Point of View of the Universe (Oxford University Press\, 2014) and Utilitarianism – A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press 2017) and edited J.S. Mill’s Utilitarianism (Norton\, 2021). In May 2024 Routledge published her The Philosophy of Pleasure\, the first introductory text of this kind on the subject of pleasure. \nIn addition to her academic work\, she is keen to convey philosophical ideas to a popular audience\, and has written for popular magazines on how to live a good life. Since May 2024 together with Peter Singer\, she runs a podcast called Lives Well Lived\, in which remarkable guests talk about what it is to have a good life. So far\, they have interviewed\, among others: Daniel Kahneman\, Yuval Harari\, Jane Goodall\, Judy Collins\, Neil de Grasse Tyson and Ingrid Newkirk. \nFor more information about the Completed Life Initiative\, please visit their website www.completedlife.org \nFor more information about the Columbia School of Professional Studies Program in Bioethics\, please visit www.sps.columbia.edu/academics/masters/bioethics \nFor event-related questions\, please contact spsalumni@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:ASBH 26th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The American Society for Bioethics and Humanities will hold their 26th annual conference in St. Louis\, MO\, September 18–21\, 2024. \nWhat Does It Mean to be Human?\nAs we watch the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence technology\, we are confronted with increasingly complex moral dilemmas happening at home and abroad. Reflecting on these moral and technological revolutions forces us to reconsider what it means to be human on an individual and societal level. How can technology supplement human instinct or offer a new perspective? How do we compassionately acknowledge the humanity of healthcare staff and patients? What role should the human condition play within the greater environment? The 2024 ASBH Annual Conference invites the community to reconsider long-held notions and think critically about the nature of humanity within our shifting landscape as it addresses the central question: What does it mean to be human? \nhttps://asbh.org/annual-meeting/bioethics-humanities-meeting

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:Penn Program in Clinical Conflict Management Workshops
DESCRIPTION:The Penn Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy is pleased to announce the next in-person conflict management workshops: Thursday-Sunday\, Aug. 22-25\, 2024. We have only a few spots left! \nThe 4-day workshop will be held at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and will run from 9:00-5:00 each day. The Penn Program in Clinical Conflict Management has offered over 100 workshops and conflict resolution seminars since the program’s launch in May 2010. \nIn this Intensive\, students will: \n\nLearn how to navigate and improve challenging clinical relationships (patient-provider\, family-provider\, inter-staff conflicts)\nLearn the techniques of facilitation among a diverse set of stakeholders\nLearn to effectively manage clinical disputes among and between caregivers\, patients and surrogates through mediation\nDiscover to how to define problems and assess underlying interests to generate mutually acceptable options\nRole-play in variety of clinical situations as both disputants and mediators\nPractice mediation with professional actors\nUse video-tapes of simulations to improve mediation techniques and strengthen interpersonal skills\nReceive constructive feedback in a supportive environment\n\nThis workshop is intended for nurses\, physicians\, clergy\, social workers\, clinical ethics consultants and members of ethics committees who face clinical ethics conflicts in their role in the healthcare system. \nDESCRIPTION: \nProfessional mediators possess a unique skill set applicable to the facilitation of difficult conversations between individuals in emotionally laden situations. An effective mediation process can generate solutions that address the underlying interests of all disputants and resolve conflicts that appear intractable. This skill set has increasingly been recognized as invaluable to the work of clinical ethics consultants as they navigate conflicts between and among patients\, families\, surrogates and providers. Moreover\, given wide-spread agreement that communication failures lie at the root of many clinical conflicts\, mediation values and catalyzes the effective communication of individual concerns\, values\, perspectives and feelings — all of which are essential to the clinical ethics consultation process. This hands-on Workshop introduces the principal techniques of mediation through the use of simulated role plays with a focus on conflicts caused by communication breakdowns\, highly charged value-conflicts\, and cultural differences. \nInstructor-Student ratio of 1:3. Space is limited. Students can earn Penn course credit or take the intensive as a workshop. Cost of the workshop is $2\,500\, which includes meals and materials.  Tuition benefits can be applied for students taking it for credit.
