The Health Ethics Seminars focus on emerging issues and themes in health ethics and intersections of health ethics and health law. The speakers are usually affiliated with various healthcare disciplines, programs, and institutions, and have special expertise, practice and/or academic knowledge about specific ethical issues. For the Fall 2024 / Winter 2025 terms, we will be offering approximately 2 seminars/month. Most seminars take place from 12:00 - 13:00 MDT/MST on Thursdays via Zoom application. All talks are open to healthcare professionals, scholars, lawyers, researchers, students, patients, and the public. Everyone is welcome!
