AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (18.50 hours), Non-Physician (18.50 hours)

Due to COVID-19 precautions, we will host the conference online this year.

SUMMER SEMINAR

The annual Summer Seminar is an intensive, interactive introduction to the 'four-box method' of analysis of ethical problems in clinical ethics, developed by Jonsen, Siegler, and Winslade in their book Clinical Ethics. The Seminar also addresses elements of the Core Competencies in Healthcare Ethics Consultation and can help attendees prepare for the healthcare ethics consultation certification exam.  

Lectures are designed to familiarize participants with basic definitions and arguments in major topics of clinical ethics. In addition, the Seminar aims to provide participants with skills and information to enable them to make competent ethical decisions in clinical situations and to assist others in doing so. Hence, careful attention is paid to methods of case analysis and to discussion of cases. The Seminar has always attracted a mix of participants that resembles the actual participants in clinical care, making it possible to share different, but complementary views.

The 2022 Seminar will incorporate asynchronous content available from July 11 - August 5, 2022, with the 2-day live online program on August 2-3, 2022. For additional information, please visit the course information page.  You can also view the agenda by going to the following link.
