Summer Seminar Scholarship in honor of Dr. Jim Kirkpatrick

We are proud to announce a new Summer Seminar in Healthcare Ethics Scholarship this year in honor of Dr. Jim Kirkpatrick, a beloved former SS faculty, Montlake committee chair, and ethics consultant. His unexpected passing in January has left a profound void among us, and his absence is deeply felt throughout the UW Bioethics community. 

Dr. Kirkpatrick was one of the few ethics-trained cardiologists in the United States. He lectured and performed research in the areas of ethics of cardiac devices, palliative cardiology, and echocardiography. Last year, he taught on “Negotiating Autonomy & Beneficence in Clinical Care” for the Summer Seminar conference. 

We are honored to offer this scholarship in his name to cover the full cost of registration for an individual with financial constraints to attend this year’s conference. This is one of 4 scholarships available. You can find our application process here: https://forms.gle/HKDDwupyx5ib1n6o8.
