Ethics and its Relevancy to Those Going into Medicine, Health Professions, & Research
|
|
|
Nov 7, 2011 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The PreHealth Organization invites you to an exciting discussion about ethics, with guest speaker Professor Alcabes. This event will be held on Monday, November 7th at 7pm.
For everyone pursuing medicine, health professions, and research, ethical issues are especially important for us to consider. It has become more and more common for medical schools to ask ethical or moral questions during interviews. The purpose of asking these questions is not to judge you based on your opinion, but rather to evaluate your ability to be able to think outside of the box.
Our guest speaker is a distinguished professor at the Public Health School at Hunter. Professor Alcabes, who received his MPH from Columbia and PhD from Johns Hopkins University, will talk about how he became interested in ethical questions and how these questions are relevant to our lives as well.
Please confirm your attendance and spread the word to anyone you know who may be interested.
