Kurzbeschreibung: The University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics is excited to host the Joint Ethics Conference of the 18th Canadian Bioethics Society Conference and the 3rd International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation from May 30th to June 3rd 2007. With the theme, “Ethics Matters,” this Joint Ethics Conference aims to showcase the work of a wide variety of scholars and professionals exploring how and why ethics matters in health care across different philosophies, disciplines, cultures, and methodologies. The Joint Ethics Conference is an opportunity to highlight the innovative and important work that is being done nationally and internationally in the field of bioethics. The conference will be of particular interest to professionals, academics, administrators, policy makers, and students with an interest in bioethics and health care. Interested members of the general public are also welcome to attend.

18th Annual Canadian Bioethics Society Conference

Created in 1988 from the fusion of the Canadian Society of Bioethics and the Société canadienne de la bioéthique médicale, the Canadian Bioethics Society has over 600 current members. Members include both individuals and organizations from a wide variety of fields including medicine, nursing, law, theology, philosophy, allied health, anthropology and public health, who share a common interest in bioethics and in the human dimensions of health research and practice. This annual conference is intended as a forum for dialogue, discussion and debate across a broad range of bioethics issues. This conference will be of interest to current and future members of the CBS, as well as any other individuals or organizations interested in bioethics issues.

3rd International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation

The growth of ethics committees and formal clinical ethics services has accelerated in North America and has spread to Europe and other parts of the world during the last two decades. The 1st International Assessment Summit on Clinical Ethics Consultation was held in Cleveland in 2003 co-organized by the Department of Bioethics at the Cleveland Clinical Foundation and the Institute for Applied Ethics and Medical Ethics at the University of Basel, Switzerland. The 2nd International Conference was held in Basel, Switzerland in 2005. The 2007 Toronto Joint Ethics Conference will mark the third such event with a specific focus on clinical ethics. This cross-national, cross-cultural conference will further promote discussion of the process, prospects and problems of clinical ethics and consultation and will provide an educational opportunity for individuals and healthcare organizations to learn about ways to improve the functioning of their ethics consultation services.
