Kurzbeschreibung: Established by Notre Dame alumnus Dr. Philip Clarke, this conference enables discussion between practicing physicians and specialists in medical ethics about issues confronting the medical community. Since its inception nearly twenty years ago, this series of conferences has been organized by the Notre Dame Alumni Association, with its academic content managed by David Solomon and, since 1999, the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture. The conferences bring together one hundred practicing physicians and workers in the field of health care from around the country to work with and learn from experts in medical ethics from the Notre Dame community and beyond. Physicians, theologians, and philosophers meet in small groups to discuss and analyze case studies submitted by conference participants that pose as ethical dilemmas in various areas of clinical practice.

Topics covered in past conferences include:

* Alternative medicines

* Death and dignity

* Euthanasia

* Health care rationing

* Medical futility

* Physician error
