33rd Annual Dorothy J. MacLean Fellows Conference on Clinical Medical Ethics

November 12, 2021 to November 13, 2021
Each year for the past 33 years, the MacLean Center has hosted a conference that draws speakers who discuss today’s issues in clinical medical ethics. The conference remembers Dorothy Jean MacLean, who helped create the MacLean Center and was deeply committed to its work. D.J. MacLean believed that education was the best way to improve the world and throughout her life supported many leading educational institutions.

The goal of this conference is to improve patient care and outcomes by educating physicians and the other healthcare professionals about clinical medical ethics through lectures, panel discussions, and collaboration. This year’s conference will also provide a heightened framework through which to view ethical issues in medicine, in particular, issues presented by the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic.

Participants will learn new strategies to tackle challenging ethical dilemmas in their practice, allowing them to provide improved patient care.
