Propelling Clinical Ethics Forward: A Working Unconference

April 28, 2022 (All day) to April 29, 2022 (All day)

Abstract: This “unconference” will bring together experienced clinical ethicists for a productive and collaborative two days to share innovative practices and engage in problem-solving to address mutual challenges.

Our field continues to dialogue about how best to evolve. In recent times, many of us have felt that we are building the plane while flying it. The goal of this Unconference is to “propel” clinical ethics forward as a community. Building on the successes of the 2018 Cleveland Clinic and 2020 Baylor Unconferences, this working event will focus on generating practical takeaways for attendees to bring back to their home institutions and developing solutions to ongoing challenges that face the field. There will be no didactics or traditional presentation formats. Instead, the event will include:

  • structured and facilitated peer-to-peer solution-sharing groups to collaboratively tackle programmatic challenges
  • targeted lightning talks on innovative practices and strategies, enhanced by attendee feedback via use of peer engagement technology
  • other session formats that enhance constructive conversation, collaborative problem-solving, and meaningful relationship-building

It is anticipated that clinical ethicists who lead clinical ethics programs or serve on ethics consultation services will benefit most from this unconference.
