2025 Carol Carfang Nursing & Healthcare Ethics Conference
February 26th-28th, 2025
Healthcare ethical dilemmas are rarely black and white. The gray area, where different
perspectives intersect, is where difficult questions arise. What can we do as healthcare
professionals to have more clarity in these unsure situations?
Advancing ethical practice in healthcare requires grappling with difficult, often
complex ethical problems and dilemmas. In this new forum, a diverse group of
ethicists, philosophers, nurses and other healthcare professionals will meet to address
contemporary ethical issues in healthcare, and will discuss solutions to the most
challenging problems for ethical practice and policy. Please see the current agenda to plan your conference experience.
The 2025 conference will take place at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and
Spa in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Registration for hotel accommodations is available.
