Overview

Innovations in Clinical Ethics: A Working Un-Conference brings together experienced clinical ethicists from diverse healthcare systems for a purposeful and productive few days of promoting the cross-pollination and idea generation of innovative practices in clinical ethics consultation. There is no plenary didactics or traditional presentation formats.

The event includes:

  • In-person peer-to-peer solution-sharing through structured and facilitated crowdsourcing
  • Targeted lightning talks on cutting-edge practices in clinical ethics consultation
  • Session formats that enhance constructive conversation, collaborative relationship-building, and concrete idea development

The event culminates in the creation of enduring work products through capstone workshopping and white paper development.

Professional clinical ethicists who lead clinical ethics programs or serve on ethics consultation services will benefit most from this un-conference. An optional pre-conference course through the Cleveland Clinic Center for Excellence in Healthcare Communication is offered to attendees.
