Colleagues,

Thank you for reviewing the information that follows, and for distributing it to colleagues and friends.

During April 1-4, 2014, the Public Health Ethics Intensive will be offered by the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care located at Tuskegee University. This critically important ethics education course will take place within the 14th Annual Commemoration of the 1997 Presidential Apology for the USPHS syphilis study on the poor men of Tuskegee.

Accredited continuing education hours will be awarded for this course.

The events next April will tie in a vast array of perspectives for our needed ethical commitments in public health, holistic healthcare, education, research, leadership education, and many other areas. The faculty are internationally and academically famous. They will tie in broad areas of related historical and contemporary concern such as the historical factors, contemporary issues in socio-economics for healthcare and research, the needs of diverse communities such as our Tribal Nations etc.

And, as if the above is not powerful enough already, the events this year will feature the honored presence of Sr. Mary Antona Ebo, one of the Sisters of Selma who marched in non-violent protest after Bloody Sunday of 1965. She is one of our nation's most significant figures in social justice. A nurse, she embodies in her very being what it means to heal. With her being at the center of the 2007 PBS documentary, Sisters of Selma: Bearing Witness for Change, you do not want to miss meeting this amazing woman --- especially as she, the one of the first black women to be the president of a hospital in the US, will turn 90 at the time of our April gathering.

On-line registration is found at: http://www.tuskegee.edu/about_us/centers_of_excellence/bioethics_center.aspx.

If attending, make room reservations ASAP at the Kellogg Conference Center before they sell out. Their number is 334-727-3000.

If you have any questions, please contact the National Bioethics Center at 334 725 2314.

(Of particular importance for federal employees or contractors: For the sake of the record, note that this is not a conference. It is an educational course that takes place in an institution founded by Presidential Directive. It does not have a registration "fee" per se, but "tuition." Therefore, this event does not fall under federal definitions of a conference.)

Best regards,
Dr. Ed Gabriele
