The Department of Medical History and Ethics’ week-long, annual summer seminar in health-care ethics will be held from Monday, Aug. 4 through Friday, Aug. 8 at the UW’s Seattle campus. Albert Jonsen, former chair of medical history and ethics and noted bioethicist, will head the seminar.

Registration is restricted to physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and teachers who work in patient care or in provider education. The seminar is designed to familiarize health-care professionals with bioethics and to enable them
to make competent ethical decisions in clinical situations.
