Pope on Medical Futility

Starting tomorrow, I will be speaking and writing about medical futility quite a lot over the next few weeks.

1. Tomorrow, I am at a Dispute Resolution and Healthcare conference at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.


2. Next week, I am participating in two sessions covering medical futility at the American Society of Bioethics & Humanities (ASBH) in Atlanta, Georgia. 


3. Also this month, I am presenting on the Futility in the ICU: Prevention, Procedure, and Policy at the American College of Chest Physicians in Chicago, Illinois.


4. In November, I am presenting on medical futility at an ethics committee summit at the University of Minnesota.


5. And in December, I am presenting ethics grand rounds on medical futility at Regions Hospital in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Over this same time period (before the end of the year), I am also looking forward to presenting at:

1. Bioethics, Health Policy, and Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Age of Obamacare at Cardozo Law in New York.


2. DMOST: Delaware Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware.


3. Arger v. Renown Health, Washoe County Court, in Reno, Nevada.
