"Promoting Ethics and Values in Health Care and in the Practice of Medicine"
Call for Papers and Panels

Submissions are invited on any topic related to ethics and values in medicine, the ethical practice of medicine, and biomedical ethics in general.
In addition to the standard scholarly component of this conference, which will include panels and paper presentations, the conference will include six keynote speakers who will work closely with pre-med and health-related professions students in classrooms and labs, discussing the ethical practice of medicine. (Confirmation of participation by six nationally-known experts in the field of medical ethics is currently being secured for the keynote addresses.)
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Ø Ethical issues in the practice of medicine and health-related professions
Ø Challenging case studies in medical ethics
Ø Microallocation and macroallocation issues in healthcare, including the current debate over a single-payer system
Ø Ethical issues in biomedical research
Ø Race and gender issues in medicine and medical research
Ø Health disparities
Ø Comparisons and critical analyses between healthcare in the U.S. and other countries
Ø Discussion and analysis of Atul Gawande's article (from New Yorker in June 2009 which focused on Medicare overspending in McAllen, TX - the location of this conference) and the negative and positive responses to it
