This interdisciplinary symposium and workshop is the first of its kind
to bring together those involved in public health, bioethics, law and
policy-making. With plenary sessions by key figures followed by
participatory workshops, the symposium aims to (1) explore major issues
in public health ethics; and (2) identify a research agenda for this
emerging field. This meeting   represents a unique opportunity to forge
an international dialogue about public health ethics that will continue
well into the new millennium.

The symposium is funded by the University of Toronto Department of
Public Health Sciences, the Joint Centre for Bioethics, the Connaught
Fund for International Symposia, and the Canadian Institutes for Health
Research. Enrolment is limited; kindly register early to avoid
disappointment. Graduate Students attend free of charge.
