Each year for the past 32 years, the MacLean Center has hosted a conference that draws speakers who discuss today’s issues in clinical medical ethics. The conference remembers Dorothy Jean MacLean, who helped create the MacLean Center and was deeply committed to its work. D.J. MacLean believed that education was the best way to improve the world and throughout her life supported many leading educational institutions.

The MacLean Conference will include many exceptional lectures on topics such as Clinical Ethics Consultation, Clinical Ethics Decision-Making, Health Policy, Health Care Disparities, Pediatric Ethics, Surgical Ethics, and General Clinical Ethics.

The conference will be held on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14, 2020.

This year's conference will be held virtually. To access the event on the day of the event, please click here. You will need to input your name and email. Our full conference schedule can be viewed here.
