ICCEC Conference: March 2013 in Munich

The 9th International Conference on Clinical Ethics and Consultation (ICCEC) will be from March 14-16, 2013 in Munich, Germany.  I enjoyed earlier iterations of this conference in Croatia and Portland.  This year's local hosts intend to strengthen the bridge between clinical medicine and ethics by providing a forum for the exchange of experience and discussions between clinicians, ethicists and ethics consultants.  In particular, they plan to present “role model consultations” based on real clinical cases from intensive care, dementia care, and oncology.  In addition, plenary sessions will focus on the needs for ethics consultation from the perspective of clinicians and connect them to the experience of ethics consultants. Abstracts are due September 15, 2012.
