History of Clinical Ethics Series
Lectures
The Clinical Ethics Series is an annual series of lectures or panel discussions co-sponsored by one or more units within CUMC School of Medicine, other Health Sciences Schools, or St. Joseph’s Hospital. Most often the CES is co-sponsored with medical departments as part of their Grand Rounds to examine a particular ethical issue within that specialty. The audience is typically made up of physicians, students, other health care providers within the Creighton community and members of the general community.
