13th Annual Meeting October 13-16, 2011 Minneapolis, MN Hyatt Minneapolis Theme: Generation(s) and Transformation(s) ASBH annual conference--"Generation(s) and Transformation(s)"--invites participants to explore and analyze all aspects of the concepts of "generation"-from pediatrics to geriatrics, as well as generative and regenerative practices in medicine-and "transformation," from a focus on the changing landscape of healthcare reform to the development of cutting-edge technologies. The medical humanities and bioethics have themselves played a role in generating new ideas and transforming practices within healthcare. Further, both disciplines now have "generations" of practitioners, complete with such issues as generational change/conflict/collaboration and legacies. We invite scholars in the medical humanities and bioethics to submit papers, panels, and workshops that examine not only healthcare practices involving patients young and old, but also explore generation(s) and transformation(s) in light of policy implications, education of learners at all levels, and critical analysis of the disciplines of medical For Further Information, Click Here:
CE Course Culture and Dental Ethics Dental ethics can be difficult in any environment. But in a diverse community like the San Fran- cisco Bay Area or in the state of California, culture complicates things and often adds a challeng- ing twist to conventional ethical decision-making. So-called “minorities” are now the majority of the California population. This workshop begins with brief discussions on culture, real and faux cultural differences and the problem of stereotyping, followed by exemplary dental cases. It will focus on the positive, intriguing and humorous ways that culture influences the delivery of humane, high-quality dental care. Practitioner-patient interactions and internal staff interactions will be emphasized. Participants are invited to bring their own cases for discussion. Members of the American Society for Dental Ethics will also present information and cases. The workshop concludes with a summary of recommendations and cautions.

The Intensive Bioethics Course is a week-long academic program in bioethics designed for health care practitioners, policy makers, and clinical researchers. The course addresses the day's most challenging topics in health care ethics in a setting that allows for sustained dialogue through lectures and small discussion groups with a distinguished faculty. Drawing participants from around the globe, the course is truly intensive, with much of the intellectual exchange occurring over shared meals and in extra discussions organized around participants' special interests. In addition to core lectures on central ethical topics such as beneficence, respect for autonomy, and virtues in the caretaking professions, participants have the opportunity to attend more informal, faculty-facilitated discussions on special topics, such as Hospital Ethics Committees, Futility, and Feminist Bioethics.
