Sunday, April 30th 2017 FROM 9:00AM - 5:00PM
MMAC's First Annual Islamic Bioethics Conference
Goal
This program is intended for all physicians, nurses, health allied professionals, health administrators and students who are involved or interested in providing health care for Muslims patients. The goal of the conference is to provide healthcare providers with a review of common bioethical issues from an Islamic perspective that may impact their Muslim patients’ health care decisions. The conference will also provide Muslims health providers with an overview of ethical duties from an Islamic perspective along with an approach to address moral dilemmas that may arise from conflict between religious beliefs and professional obligations
Objectives
1. To identify Islamic moral theory and Islamic ethical frameworks that apply to medical and health care decisions
2. To distinguish the difference between Islamic bioethics and secular bioethics to improve cultural sensitivity about the health of Muslims in Canada
3. To recognize the impact of Muslim patients’ and Muslim health care professionals’ values on healthcare outcomes
