Bioethics Boot Camp: An Intensive Introduction to Healthcare Ethics
This day long program will provide an intensive introduction to ethical issues that arise in contemporary healthcare practice. Aimed at providing healthcare professionals with a basic introduction to the frameworks needed to understand and address ethical issues within their institution, this program will examine general principles in healthcare ethics through lecture and case-based discussion and will apply these principles to areas of informed consent, decision-making capacity, surrogate decision making, end-of-life decision making and advance care planning.
Target Audience
This conference is open to all healthcare professionals. If you are a member of your institution’s ethics committee or just have a special interest in healthcare ethics, we encourage you to attend.
