Intensive Bioethics Course
A pioneer in bioethics education, the Kennedy Institute offers bioethics courses designed to address the most challenging topics in health care ethics. These courses provide the opportunity for participants from different fields and disciplines to come together for a few days to explore the theoretical framework and practical issues of bioethics with a distinguished faculty. In a unique structure, lectures and panel discussions are paired with small group discussions, allowing detailed exploration of issues and personal interaction with faculty and other course participants. The course is truly intensive; with much of the intellectual interchange taking place over shared meals and in extra discussions organized around participants' interests.

ASBH 12th Annual Meeting
Theme: Health and Community
Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel
San Diego, CA
Bioethics has been particularly concerned with the rights and welfare of individual patients and has often been criticized for not attending sufficiently to problems related to the health of populations. But there is little doubt that bioethics and the humanities have much to contribute to concerns connected to groups as well as individuals. We thus invite scholars to address health, disability, and disease as it affects local, national, and global groups. Healthcare professionals, researchers, humanists, and lawyers, can bring experiences, expertise, and interests that shape our understanding of the health of communities as it informs and is informed by ethics, law, politics, medicine, and the humanities. Proposals that critically examine issues related to social groups--such as the appropriate distribution of societal resources, the ways in which literature, film, and the arts inform concerns about the health of populations and our understanding of communities, healthcare professionals' duty to warn in cases of communicable disease (e.g., HIV/AIDS), the fair distribution of health resources (e.g., medical supplies, water, etc.) during a natural disaster, the various contributions of the arts and the humanities to the health of communities, the social determinants of health and disease, healthcare disparities, the ways historical perspectives can bear on present day policy issues, and conflicts of values between different populations--are welcomed.
