Healthcare ethical dilemmas are rarely black and white. The gray area, where different
perspectives intersect, is where difficult questions arise. What can we do as healthcare
professionals to have more clarity in these unsure situations?
Advancing ethical practice in healthcare requires grappling with difficult, often
complex ethical problems and dilemmas. In this new forum, a diverse group of
ethicists, philosophers, nurses and other healthcare professionals will meet to address
contemporary ethical issues in healthcare, and will discuss solutions to the most
challenging problems for ethical practice and policy. Please see the final agenda to plan your conference experience.
The 2023 conference will take place March 1 - 3, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater
Beach Resort and Spa in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Registration for hotel accommodations is available.
