INTERDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR BIOETHICS CONFERENCE
This one-day conference is intended to facilitate conversation about issues of healthcare and employment disparities for people with disabilities. Bringing together participants from diverse academic disciplines, professions, government, business, advocacy groups, and the larger community, the conference will feature presentations and commentary by experts on the national scene, followed by informal breakout sessions with group discussion focusing on health and employment disparities for people with disabilities in the New Haven region. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, this conference also aims to produce specific suggestions for collaborative follow-up activities.
