6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CLINICAL ETHICS CONSULTATION, May 11-14, 2010, Portland, Oregon

The International Conference on Clinical Ethics Consultation series (ICCEC) was founded by George Agich, PhD and Professor Dr. Stella Reiter-Theil to fill the significant gap that they perceived in the field between the explosion of clinical ethics, ethics committees, and ethics consultation services around the world and the relative lack of critical and academic discussion of the many practical, institutional, and ethical issues associated with this work.
