Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine
CBSSM
The Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM) was formed in 2010 through a merger of a pre-existing bioethics Program and a decision sciences Center at the University of Michigan Medical School. Since then, we have developed a shared vision that has unified faculty and staff who had previously functioned in separate silos (ethics service, ethics scholarship, and decision sciences) and implemented a variety of programs that benefit our members and the patients, trainees, researchers, and faculty of Michigan Medicine. CBSSM is led by interim Co-Directors Dr. Brian Zikmund-Fisher and Prof. Kayte Spector-Bagdady.
In this Bioethics Grand Rounds, Emilee Coulter-Thompson, DrPH, LMSW presents published research on the impact of health care bias and discrimination on LGBTQ+ parents' and their children with developmental disabilities in the U.S. This event is hosted by the U-M Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM), and continuing education credits are available.
The Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM) 2024 Research Colloquium will occur on Thursday, May 23, 2024 (1 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.). The event will be held at Palmer Commons, Forum Hall (100 Washtenaw Ave, Ste 2017, Ann Arbor, MI). Registration is required; live streaming will be available.
The CBSSM Research Colloquium will feature the 14th Annual Bishop Lecture in Bioethics as the keynote address. Join us for a talk with Dr. Patrick Smith, PhD, on Health Equity and Bioethics.
