9:00am to 10:00am

Ben Bramble, PhD
Lecturer in Philosophy
Australian National University
Author of Pandemic Ethics: 8 Big Questions of COVID-19

Abstract: Professor Bramble will present an approach to triage that seeks to both maximize lives saved and correct for the profound structural inequities that are causing disadvantaged groups to be much more likely to die from COVID-19. During this colloquium, Dr. Bramble will be in conversation with Doug White, MD, UPMC Endowed Chair for Ethics in Critical Care Medicine and CBHL faculty member, and with participants who submit questions.

Join this discussion via Zoom.  Participants are encouraged to read chapter seven on triage from Professor Bramble’s book, which is available for free download.
