Eighth Annual Pediatric Bioethics Conference: “The Thin Ethical Line: When Professional Boundaries and Personal Interests Collide”
There’s a fine line between professional and personal relationships. Where does one begin and the other end? Plan to attend Seattle Children’s Eighth Annual Pediatric Bioethics Conference in Seattle, July 27 and 28, 2012, as we explore “The Thin Ethical Line: When Professional Boundaries and Personal Interests Collide.” A distinguished panel of experts will address a range of challenging ethical issues:
• Is it ever appropriate for a healthcare provider to "friend" a patient or parent?
• Should a healthcare provider perform procedures on or prescribe medications to a family member?
• Is "firing" a patient an appropriate response to parents who refuse to vaccinate their children?
• Is it ever OK for a healthcare provider to lie on behalf of their patient?
Join us in the picturesque city of Seattle as healthcare providers from around the country share insights and opinions. Set aside the date now and participate in this important and enlightening discussion.
Date: Saturday Jul 28
Location: Bell Harbor International Conference Center, Seattle, WA
