 March 6–14, 2010
The annual Notre Dame Medical Ethics Conference, sponsored by the Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture and the Alumni Association, celebrates its 25th anniversary in Rome. Begin your week in Rome with leisurely tours of the Eternal City’s famous sites and an audience with the Pope. Then join experts in medical ethics from Europe and the United States on March 12 and 13 in discussing pressing global issues in medical ethics. The conference program is built around small group discussions complemented by open-mic plenary sessions, all focused on case studies contributed by practicing physicians. This trip and conference are open to both alumni and non-alumni, and we welcome all religious traditions and viewpoints. Conference attendees are encouraged to bring family members and friends, who may join in on this Roman vacation without attending the conference. Trip extensions to Florence or Venice will also be made available.
