This 4-day intensive seminar aims to empower participants in recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas in healthcare by employing an interactive and case-based methodology. Drawing from the collective expertise of an interdisciplinary faculty and sessional speakers, this 4-day seminar facilitates a systematic exploration of the various perspectives involved in contemporary bioethical issues, encompassing patients, residents, families, practitioners, and societal considerations. A few of the topics covered include patient autonomy and capacity, living at risk and supporting patient choices, substitute decision-making, involuntary treatment, health ethics and the law, end-of-life ethics and public health ethics.

The seminar is open to physicians, nurse practitioners, allied health professionals, social services providers, health care leaders/executives, policy makers, pastoral care professionals, ethics committee members, and other members of the healthcare community who are interested in deepening their understanding of ethical reflection and engagement.
