The IBC was relaunched in 2019 following a review of how best it can meet the needs and interests of healthcare professionals and others wishing to deepen their understanding of bioethics, in the 21st century. The updated course is a collaborative venture between the Kennedy Institute of Ethics (KIE) and the Pellegrino Center for Clinical Bioethics (PCCB), reflecting the course’s greater emphasis on clinical bioethics. IBC45 attracted a capacity audience and generated glowing feedback from participants.
IBC45, June 2024
IBC45 provided an immersive, intensive experience in a compact three-day format. This year, Day 1 will be led by experts from the KIE and will explore ethical theory, including core ethical principles and issues in global bioethics. Day 2 will be led by experts from the PCCB and will focus on key issues and challenges in clinical bioethics. Day 3 will delve into selected contemporary and emerging bioethical issues. The course retains its ever-popular small-group discussion sessions that explore the issues raised by the plenary talks.
We look forward to welcoming you to the historic campus of Georgetown University in the nation’s capital as we pursue, in a congenial and conversational environment, our commitment to top-quality professional education in bioethics.
