SUMMARY:Ethics of End-of-Life Care:  Contributions from the Arts and Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Objective\nCare for the dying and their loved ones is a most rewarding but also challenging endeavor. Such care can evoke complex moral questions that often defy standard methods of ethical analysis. In this seminar\, we enter into dialogue with the arts and humanities to gain new insights about the human condition\, find meaning in the final phase of life\, and achieve a truly dignified death. \nApproach\nWhereas internationally renowned experts will introduce the themes\, the core of this seminar will be a sustained discussion among all participants. Conversations will extend from the classroom to cultural excursions in the city of Rome and many shared meals. Participants are encouraged to prepare a short presentation to stimulate still more dialogue. Registration is limited to 20 persons. Combination with the Annual Conference of the Pontifical Academy for Life Immediately following the seminar\, participants can attend the two-day annual conference of the Pontifical Academy for Life (3-4 March 2025). The specific topic of the 2025 meeting has yet to be announced. Attendance of this meeting may also include an opportunity to join in the Academyís private audience with Pope Francis at the Vatican (depending on his health and schedule). \nTeaching Staff\nJos Welie\, MA\, MMedS\, JD\, PhD\, President of the St. AndrÈ International Center for Ethics and Integrity (France) and Professor Emeritus of Medical Humanities (USA) (Seminar Director) Andrea Ciucci\, PhD\, Pontifical Academy for Life (Vatican City) Andrea De Santis\, PhD\, Dean of Philosophy\, Ateneo SantíAnselmo (Italy) Alberto GarcÌa GÛmez\, LLM\, PhD\, UNESCO Chair in Bioethics and Human Rights (Spain/Italy) Henk ten Have\, MD\, PhD\, Professor of Health Care Ethics\, Anuhuac University (Netherlands/Mexico) Willem Lemmens\, PhD\, Antwerp University (Belgium) Therese Lysaught\, PhD\, Professor\, Loyola University Chicago (USA) Joseph Tham\, M.D.\, PhD\, APRA Rome (Italy) & Holy Spirit College (Hong Kong).

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: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: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. \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. \nColumbia University makes every effort to accommodate individuals with disabilities.

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: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: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:Doctor\, Will You Pray for Me? Medicine\, Chaplains\, and Healing the Whole Person
DESCRIPTION:About the Talk \nBased on in-depth research\, this talk explores how patients today from varied backgrounds—from evangelical to atheist\, agnostic\, and “nothing in particular”—confront spiritual\, existential\, and religious challenges\, and how hospital chaplains often help. These spiritual care providers play critical roles assisting patients\, families\, and staff\, but knowledge about them and how they assist patients remains relatively low. This talk presents the profound insights they have to share. \nAbout the Speaker \nRobert Klitzman\, MD\, is a Professor of Psychiatry at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Joseph Mailman School of Public Health\, and the Director of the Online and In-person Bioethics Masters and Certificate Programs at Columbia University. He has written over 190 scientific journal articles\, ten books\, and numerous chapters on critical issues in bioethics regarding doctor-patient relationships and communication\, research\, genetics\, mental health\, pandemics\, and other areas. His books include Doctor\, Will You Pray for Me?: Medicine\, Chaplains and Healing the Whole Person and When Doctors Become Patients. \nDr. Klitzman has received numerous awards for his work\, including fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, the Russell Sage Foundation\, the Commonwealth Fund\, the Aaron Diamond Foundation\, the Hastings Center\, and the Rockefeller Foundation. He has been a gubernatorial appointee to the Empire State Stem Cell Commission\, and the Ethics Working Group of the HIV Prevention Trials Network\, and served on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Research Ethics Advisory Panel. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association\, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations\, and a regular contributor to The New York Times\, CNN\, and Psychology Today. \nThe lecture may be attended virtually at this Zoom link: https://columbiacuimc.zoom.us/j/98286753954
