n 1997, participants in a
Machon L;Torah medical ethics
study class organized a day-long
seminar for a more in-depth
look at related issues.
Five years later, the annual Medical
and Professional Ethics Conference
continues with the Sunday, Feb. 25
program, "To Wonder, Ponder and
Discover."
Hosted by Botsford Hospital in
Farmington Hills, sessions will be led
by rabbis, doctors, educators and
chaplains on the ethical and legal per-
spective of subjects ranging from
prayer and visiting the sick to cosmet-
ic surgery and childhood illness. A
series of case studies will also be pre-
sented in an interactive course.
Sessions are CME accredited by
either Botsford Hospital or Henry
Ford Hospital in Detroit for physi-
cians and those in health care fields,
but the conference is open to anyone
interested in medical ethics.
