Lectures and Events
*************************************************************
Yale Center on Bioethics Internships
We are now accepting applications for the Yale Bioethics Center’s Summer Internship Program 2009. In 2008, the program will include: (1) a series of lectures surveying the field of bioethics; and (2) a set of intensive seminars given in 4-week increments on special topics such as neuroethics, stem cell research, or care for the dying. Lectures and seminars will be presented by scholars from Yale or other universities. Lecture attendance is compulsory and required reading assignments will be distributed weekly. A series of seminars will be offered to stimulate discussion and a deeper consideration of ethical issues. Students can sign up for a specific seminar series. Please contact carol.pollard@yale.edu for more information.
Book Talk: “Hospital”
You are cordially invited to a lecture to be delivered by Julie Salomon, author of recently published book, “Hospital”, glowingly reviewed by JAMA, The Economist, and The New York Times. The presentation is entitled: “Hospital: Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity, Plus Red Tape, Bad Behavior, Money, God and Diversity on Steroids. Julie Salamon had the rare opportunity to spend a year observing the inner workings of Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, a large, urban hospital where sixty-seven languages are spoken. She came to understand the multiplicity of demands on the system and on the people working within it: technological, cultural, spiritual, psychological, financial, bureaucraticand, yes, medical. Salamon addresses crucial questions about modern medical care, including: Is there a way to foster respect between medical professionals, and between doctors and nurses and their patients? How can hospital management help people working in the hospital improve systems that will make the experience less frightening and frustrating for patients and their families?
