Virtual Event

The Hippocratic ideal of undivided commitment to patients’ welfare has been central to the practice of medicine for a millennium. US and international law demands it. Medical ethics insists upon it. Yet public officials looking to ramp up deportation of unauthorized migrants to the US expect health care institutions to assist—to the point of permitting enforcement personnel to enter medical facilities to apprehend patients and family members. This event will consider the conflict between care providers’ Hippocratic duty and demands that they participate in immigration enforcement.
