33rd Annual Conference of the Professions: Crossing Borders (JS1905D)

May 24, 2019

This year's 33rd conference will examine the professional opportunities presented by immigration. Providing medical care, legal representation, and a spiritual home for documented and undocumented immigrants alike - many seeking asylum from intolerable conditions in their home countries - presents unique challenges and rewards. What are the ethical obligations of lawyers, physicians, and clergy to those who have come here from other countries? How are our professional organizations, firms, and practices responding to the needs of the immigrant community?

Target Audience

This course is designed for physicians of all specialties (in addition to lawyers and clergy) who are interested in the professional responsibilities involved in working with the immigrant population.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe the typical kinds of ethics issues faced by each of the three target professions regarding recent controversies in immigration.
  • Describe response strategies to the ethical challenges of immigration.
