The Tough Cases ethics discussion series is supported by the Allen Lein Ethics in Medicine Fund and meets once monthly. It provides an opportunity for medical students, pharmacy students, graduate students, and others anticipating a career in medicine or science to increase awareness of, and sensitivity to, ethical issues.

Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are the fourth Tuesday of the month, noon - 1:30 p.m. at UCSD in the Stein Clinical Research Building, Room 148. To subscribe/unsubscribe to the toughcases-l mailing list, please go to http://lists.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/toughcases-l.
