17th Annual Pediatric Bioethics Conference (VIRTUAL)

With talks on pressing issues by experts in the field, the conference will serve as fertile ground for the development and clarification of best practices in pediatric bioethics.

Ethics committees, health care practitioners and public policy experts are consistently faced with difficult ethical challenges. This conference will provide education surrounding these challenges, and an opportunity to engage peers and learn how others are grappling with the ethical issues that arise in pediatric health care.

This course is designed for physicians, nurses, social workers, clergy, psychologists, health administrators, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapists, pediatric mental health workers, pediatric specialists, medical students, nursing students, ethicists, philosophers, and others with an interest in or a need for continuing education in healthcare ethics.
