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.

Please join us on Wednesday, April 9th with an expert-led panel discussion.
This presentation will discuss the legal framework that guides processes for ensuring that a patient’s interests are represented when determining whether to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment.
