On September 10-11, 2010, the Public Deliberation, Ethics and Health Policy Symposium was held on the U-M campus in Ann Arbor.  Jointly funded by a University of Michigan Center for Ethics in Public Life program grant and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the symposium was coordinated by Dr. Susan Goold, together with Julia Abelson at McMaster University and Erika Blacksher at the University of Washington.

The purpose of the inaugural symposium was to reflect on questions about the rationale, methods, and use of public deliberation for addressing complex and morally challenging health policy problems.  Invited participants included CBSSM co-director Scott Kim and Raymond De Vries.
