Submissions are invited on any topic related to ethics and values in medicine, medical research, the ethical practice of medicine, medical humanities, medical education and biomedical ethics in general.
The primary goal of this conference is to engage various constituencies in an academic dialogue about biomedical ethics. Conference organizers take a unique approach to achieving this goal, combining the best aspects of traditional, scholarly ethics conferences, public lectures, and continuing education. We will have five keynote speakers from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, including several working healthcare professionals. Confirmed keynote speakers include: Dr. Janet Stemwedel, a philosophy professor at San Jose State University and author of the blog “Adventures in Ethics and Science”, Dr. Leonard Vela, public health administrator and Dean of the UT Health Science Center’s Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC), Laura Zarate, victim advocate, training specialist, artist, and co-founder of Arte Sana and Dr. Christopher Sholer, internal medicine specialist and nephrologist who works with dialysis and organ transplantation research.
(All presentations are free and open to the public, thanks to generous donations by local healthcare professionals and businesses.)
Panel topics include, but are not limited to:
Acceptance notification: 10 February, 2012

Send electronic submissions to: pace@utpa.edu (There is a possibility that a selection of conference papers will be published as a volume by our library).
