Overview

The Unconference is accepting abstract submissions for presentation proposals that will engage attendees in sharing innovations and developing solutions to challenges in clinical ethics. Proposals must fall into one of two presentation categories based on the two main session formats (see below):

  1. Lightning Talks with Real-Time Crowdsourcing
  2. Peer-to-Peer Solution-Sharing
Learning From Each Other Now
  • Innovations in Consult and Non-Consult Ethics Activities
  • Quality Assessment and Improvement
  • Proactive, Embedded, and Organizational Ethics
Addressing Pressing Topics Together
  • Adapting to New Norms Resulting from COVID
  • Addressing Racial Justice
  • Collective Responses to Social Issues
Co-Piloting the Future of the Field
  • Professionalization and Standardization
  • Developing Metrics, Demonstrating ROI, and Funding Clinical Ethics
  • Evolving Models for Ethics Programs
Lightning Talks with Real-Time Crowdsourcing

The format for these sessions consists of a 5-minute lightning talk (with a maximum of 3 slides) regarding an innovative practice or advancement in clinical ethics that others can learn from and apply in their own clinical ethics program. Each lightning talk will be followed by a 3-minute crowdsourcing component in which the audience will offer feedback for improving the practice or advancement utilizing a polling software. Solicited themes are listed above. Each thematically related set of lightning talks and polling will conclude with 20 minutes of Q&A. A select few lightning talks will be considered for a podcast that will be completed after the Unconference.

Peer-to-Peer Solution-Sharing

For these sessions, presenters will briefly describe in a small group setting a programmatic or systems challenge that (a) their clinical ethics program or (b) the field of clinical ethics generally currently faces. Attendees for each group will discuss these challenges and develop solutions. Presenters will report out to all Unconference attendees on the solutions developed.

The deadline for abstract submissions is Friday December 31, 2021. Please email abstracts and inquiries to [email protected].

Individuals may submit up to 2 abstracts in each presentation category. There is a limit of 1 presenter for each abstract submission.

Notifications will be sent by January 31, 2022. Presenters must be able to attend the Unconference in person to deliver their presentation.

Abstracts for Lightning Talks with Real-Time Crowdsourcing must:

  • Include your name, email, and institutional affiliation.
  • State the title of your presentation.
  • State the theme under which your abstract falls.
  • Describe an innovation in clinical ethics related to the topic in 200 words or less.
  • Include two or three poll questions aimed at soliciting feedback to improve the project. Questions can be multiple choice or open-text.
  • Indicate whether you are willing to explore your topic in more detail in a podcast after the Unconference.

Proposals will be evaluated based on innovativeness of the practice or advancement, impact on clinical ethics practice, and the strength of the poll questions.

If accepted, you will be asked to submit your slides no later than March 31, 2022.

Abstracts for Peer-to-Peer Solution-Sharing must:

  • Include your name, email, and institutional affiliation.
  • State the title of your presentation.
  • State the theme under which your abstract falls.
  • Describe a programmatic or systems challenge in 200 words or less.
  • The first sentence should offer a clear statement of the challenge. Subsequent content should include (1) support for the relevance of this question to real-world clinical ethics practice, (2) a history of the problem, and (3) a description of the potential downstream impact of developing solutions in partnership with Unconference attendees.

Proposals will be evaluated based on relevance of the challenge to real-world clinical ethics practice and potential for a solution to have a meaningful impact on clinical ethics programs or the field of clinical ethics.
