The course will offer 22.5 continuing education hours/units: Physician/Dentist Category I CMEs; Nursing CEs; and CEUs for other professionals (e.g. social workers, psychologists, patient advocates, physician assistants, lawyers, chaplains, ethicists, IRB/IACUC members etc.)

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

Contact the Kellogg Conference Center for room reservations at 334-727-3000.

Of particular importance for federal employees or contractors: This is not a conference. It is a regular academic course that is part of a regular educational program. It takes place in an institution founded by Presidential Directive. It does not have a registration "fee," but "tuition." Therefore, this event does not fall under current definitions of a conference.

Contact the National Bioethics Center for more info: 334 725 2314.

This theme for this year's course is Ethics and Social Justice. The course takes place within the annual Commemoration week remembering the 1997 Presidential Apology for the 1932-1972 USPHS syphilis study.

Honoring us this year with her presence will be 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, 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. Sr. Antona will be just one of many celebrated national and international leaders and scholars joining us.

See you in April.

Best regards,
Dr. Ed Gabriele
