ASBH 11th Annual Meeting
October 15-18, 2009
Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill
Washington, DC

Translating Bioethics and Humanities

Medicine relies on myriad translations: discoveries at the laboratory bench translated to the bedside, innovations in clinical care translated to medical practice and practitioners, and complex technological interventions translated for patients and families making medical decisions. Simultaneously, disciplines must learn how to "speak each other's language" in order to make a meaningful impression on clinical care and health policy.

Call for Proposals

Thank you for submitting your proposals to the ASBH Call for Proposals. We received the highest number of submissions in the history of ASBH with 493 proposals.  The committee was tasked with selecting the strongest proposals addressing topics of interest to a multidisciplinary community in the fields of bioethics and medical humanities. Many excellent proposals were not included on the final program schedule.
