Events & Programs
The Program for Biomedical Ethics develops and presents various ethics-related educational programs throughout the academic year for medical, nursing and physician assistant students, the community, Yale faculty as well as local, regional and national health care professionals.
We have an outstanding array of local and visiting speakers for the Evening Ethics Seminar Series each year. These sessions tend to be informative, often provocative, and always interesting, with plenty of time for audience discussion.
