Dr. Julie Ponesse will join the Australian Medical Professionals’ Society to speak at their 2022 conference.
TORONTO: The Democracy Fund (TDF) Ethics Scholar, Dr. Julie Ponesse will be participating in the Reclaiming Medicine Conference hosted by the Australian Medical Professionals’ Society (AMPS) on Friday, September 9, 2022 (Saturday, September 10 Australian Eastern Standard Time.)
Dr. Ponesse’s speech is titled, “Are medical ethics still relevant in the time of COVID-19?” Dr. Ponesse will explore why the medical establishment collectively abandoned longstanding and hard-earned core bioethics principles, the consequences of that abandonment, and what little steps we can all take to reclaim them. Dr. Ponesse is scheduled to speak at 7:45 p.m. ET (9:45 a.m. AEST.)
The full day conference will be held in Melbourne, Australia and virtual registration is still open. The conference will focus on the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the AMPS website, many medical professionals felt that they were silenced into adhering to an official narrative at the cost of their long-established codes of conduct. This conference is the first in Australia to address many of these issues publicly. Their goal is to reclaim medicine to its foundational moral enterprise, which is secured by integrity, and accountability to patients.
