Unpacking Bedside Bioethics

books

Unpacking Bedside Bioethics is a quarterly professional development clinical ethics webinar series delivered by the Center for Bioethics.

Speakers identify ethical dilemmas in clinical cases, and discuss how to apply bioethical concepts and frameworks to navigate those dilemmas.

This interprofessional series is geared towards physicians, nurses, pharmacists, chaplains, social workers, and clinical staff. Health professions students are also encouraged to attend.  

The views expressed by webinar speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of individual Center for Bioethics faculty.  The Center for Bioethics does not take positions on specific issues, and the hosting or posting online of a webinar does not imply endorsement of any views expressed by the speakers.

Certificates of Attendance are issued upon request and may be used to apply for Continuing Education Units for their respective professions. We are not able to offer CEUs directly to attendees at this time. Most webinars will be recorded and posted to the Center for Bioethics Youtube channel.
