Anyone interested in medical ethics is invited to a short talk by clinician-educator Dr. Mark Hughes during World Medical Ethics Day, September 18 at 5 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Dr. Hughes teaches medicine and ethics to medical students, residents and fellows in the School of Medicine. Dr. Hughes is a core faculty member of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. His research interests include advance care planning, end of life decision-making, professionalism, and research ethics. He co-developed a course on research ethics for post-graduate fellows in the Department of Medicine and is the current director of the Course on Research Ethics (CORE), a mandatory course for faculty and fellows conducting human subjects research in the School of Medicine. Dr. Hughes serves on the Johns Hopkins Hospital Ethics Service and is chair of the sub-committee on ethics consultation standards.

The event will take place next to the new Medical Ethics:Caring for theWorld display on the library's main floor.   The display runs through October 15, 2007.
