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:Ethics Grand Rounds: "Professional Ethics in OB/GYN Care in the Post-Dobbs Era"
DESCRIPTION:About the Spearker: Nadia N. Sawicki\, JD is Beazley Chair in Health Law and Georgia Reithal Professor of Law at Loyola University Chicago School of Law. Prof. Sawicki’s research addresses issues at the intersection of torts\, health law\, and bioethics\, including issues related to informed consent\, health care conscience laws\, reproductive justice\, end-of-life care\, and professional licensure and discipline. In 2020\, Prof. Sawiki was elected as a member of the American Law Institute. She has previously served as a member of the American Bar Association’s Special Committee on Bioethics and the Law\, and co-chair of the American Society for Bioethics and the Humanities’ Law Affinity Group. \nTalk Description: The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization abandoning federal constitutional protection for abortion will have far-reaching implications for many aspects of healthcare\, especially in the context of reproductive health. In this presentation\, I will demonstrate that Dobbs will dramatically limit pregnant patient’s rights to direct the course of their medical care. Because there will be fewer legal protections for patient autonomy after Dobbs\, it will fall to the health care profession to establish clear ethical standards and professional guidance affirming the duty to respect the right of medical self-determination during pregnancy. \nPlease join us! There will be plenty of time for questions afterwards! \nWebsite link: http://www.amc.edu/bioethics

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: Material (Mis)Identities: Art\, Genes and Ethics
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, November 8 at 12pm ET for ELSI Friday Forum: Material (Mis)Identities: Art\, Genes and Ethics\, with speakers:\n\n\n\nLucy Kim\, MFA\, Artist\, Associate Professor in Art and Painting\, Boston University\n\n\nPaul Vanouse\, MFA\, Artist\, SUNY Distinguished Professor\, Director of Coalesce Center for Biological Art\, University of Buffalo\n\n\nModerated by Rachel Adams\, PhD\, Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University\n\n\nHow can genetically-incorporated art examine\, highlight\, and challenge existing social constructs such as the formation of racial identity? This ELSI Friday Forum will explore this question\, focusing on the intersection between art and genetics. Panelist\, Lucy Kim\, Associate Professor in Art and Painting\, will discuss a unique process she created to use melanin from genetically-modified bacteria to develop images. This process of screen printing with melanin raises questions about how race is ascribed\, its meaning\, and connection to something as arbitrary as pigment. Panelist\, Paul Vanouse\, Professor of Art\, will discuss his interactive biomedia installation in which extracted DNA samples “run” through gel electrophoresis to examine the racial identity of his multi-racial family’s Jamaican descent. Moderated by Rachel Adams\, Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, join us as we discuss the intersection between art and genetics.

SUMMARY:2024 Texas Vaccine Policy Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of disease and prevent deaths\, preventing more than 4 million deaths each year. However\, the politicization of vaccines has resulted in increased vaccine hesitancy in the U.S. and policies that exacerbate this issue. \nAt the 2024 Texas Vaccine Policy Symposium\, researchers and stakeholders from across the state will discuss the impact of vaccines in Texas and the challenges ahead as we look toward the 89th Texas legislative session\, which starts in January 2025. Speakers will include vaccine scholar Dr. Saad Omer\, dean of the Peter O’Donnell Jr. School of Public Health at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center\, who will discuss the impact of vaccines on public health and ways to improve access\, and Michael Emerson\, the Baker Institute’s Chavanne Fellow in Religion and Public Policy\, who will discuss how vaccine advocacy should be an integral part of religious faith\, to help others who are less fortunate. In addition\, Texas State Representative Ann Johnson will comment on major issues and challenges in the upcoming state legislative session. The event will feature ways to uncouple vaccines from politics and how to effectively advocate for policies that can increase access to vaccines for those who need them most. \nThis event is co-organized by the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences\, and The Immunization Partnership (TIP)\, with support from Rice University’s Creative Ventures Fund: Conference and Workshop grant. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public. \n  \nRSVP Here: \nhttps://www.bakerinstitute.org/event/2024-texas-vaccine-policy-symposium

SUMMARY:Ethics Grand Rounds: Ethics At the Intersection: Discussing End of Life Choices With American Indian and Alaska Native Patients
DESCRIPTION:This 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. \nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nMary J. Owen\, MD\, is a member of the Auk Kwaan Tribe of the Tlingit people. She was raised in Juneau\, Alaska and has been involved in Native health since the age of three when she received her health care from the Indian Health Service. She attended medical school to serve her tribal community which she did for eleven years before returning to academia where she recruits and supports Native American students to become healthcare providers and where she teaches on caring for Native patients and communities. She is the immediate past-president of the Association of American Indian Physicians (AAIP). As AAIP president\, Dr. Owen created two national programs to support Native American students. The Indigenous Health Education and Resource Task Force (IHEART) aims to create regional networks of support networks for Native students in grades K-post-graduate education. The second effort is the Indigenous Health Educators Alliance (IHEAL) which aims to mimic the national standards for Indigenous medical education that exist in Australia and New Zealand. Dr. Owen continues to provide clinical care at the Center of American Indian Resources in Duluth\, Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Changing Life as We Know It – Exploring the Role of Genetic Modification and Our Understanding of Humanity
DESCRIPTION:What are the ethical issues surrounding genetic modification? How do we define – and regulate – the line between benefit and harm? In what ways do these possibilities force us to make decisions about the value of life and impose judgments about what makes a life worth living – or even what is considered “normal”? We will discuss an example in history illustrative of the ways in which assigning genetic value engendered horrific results\, wherein Nazi eugenicists and government policy makers identified those considered a genetic and financial burden on the population – and aimed through sterilization and\, even (euphemistically)\, euthanasia to eliminate “life unworthy of life”. In what ways does this history caution us? We will focus on several scenarios wherein genetic modification presents complicated questions around intended and unintended possibilities and consequences – and ultimately how we understand what it means to be human. \nThe program will serve to examine the ethical issues not just within medicine\, but implicated within theology (and therefore the clergy)\, business (the ethical implications of commercialization)\, law (exploring the legal/regulatory roles\, including recognizing the limitations imposed by the structural irrelevance of national borders)\, journalism (how it is described and written about will be fundamentally important in shaping understanding)\, and advances and uses of technology. \nVardit Ravitsky\, CEO of The Hastings Center\, will be the keynote speaker\, and the program will include panel discussions with leading bioethicists and FASPE alumni. \nThe Symposium will be held on Saturday\, November 16\, from 9 am to 6 pm at the offices of Holland & Knight in Manhattan. Registration is required to attend this event; please reserve your seat now by completing the form below if you plan to join us! \nRegister @ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsxERhF1jK8SyzeU79ss-xtT4TgmYlQDMdMLC_-UeRnNRzwQ/viewform

SUMMARY:Ethics in America’s Epidemic: Navigating Solutions and Hope in the Opioid Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Opioid use and the addiction that can follow have\, in recent decades\, become an enduring and profound public health crisis. How did this problem reach epidemic proportions\, and where does it stand today? What tensions define debates about how to mitigate the drugs’ harms? How can we most effectively treat addiction\, especially in light of stigma and disparities? And how can we begin to repair communities that these drugs have impacted? \nBeth Macy\, bestselling author of Dopesick and Raising Lazarus: Hope\, Justice\, and the Future of America’s Overdose Crisis\, will discuss the US opioid epidemic and the ethical issues that accompany it\, including how we can move forward from the crisis and rebuild affected communities. Ms. Macy will be joined in conversation by Perri Peltz\, a journalist\, public health advocate\, and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker known for the HBO documentary Warning: This Drug May Kill You\, which explores the devastating effects of opioid addiction and its relationship to big pharma. \nThe Greenwall Foundation is excited to partner with New York University’s School of Global Public Health to host this year’s William C. Stubing Memorial Lecture in person in New York City and online. The event will begin with a reception at 5:30pm ET\, followed by the moderated conversation beginning at 6:30pm ET. An audience question-and-answer session will follow. Register to attend the event in person or online here; registration is free and open to all\, but in-person seating is limited.
