The racial justice reckoning of the past few years combined with the drastically disparate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities has prompted soul-searching in all corners of society — including health care.  As the Aspen Ethical Leadership Program convenes in 2023, we will explore the potential roles of health care leaders in creating a more just world.

About the Program

“This is the meeting I attend to reconnect with my north star.”
– Fred Southwick, MD, Professor, University of Florida College of Medicine

The curriculum will once again bring together a thoughtfully curated cohort of leaders to grapple with and practice ethical decision-making using our hallmark case-study format, exploring ripped-from-the-headlines situations that organizational leaders are facing daily.  Our unique format and curated roster of speakers and attendees provides space to explore the ethical issues of the moment in a caring, collegial, and confidential environment. The case-study format and AELP methodology provide a practical framework for developing skills for ethical awareness, deliberative assessment, and strategic values-driven action.  

“Every day I face dilemmas navigating unsettled science with competing interests. This conference helps me with moral distress and implementing decisions.”  -  Sharon Levine, MD

Who Should Attend

AELP candidates are senior or rising leaders in health care organizations, health policy, or public health with a commitment to ethical leadership and a desire to engage with a network of professionals who share this commitment. This may include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals, but also attorneys, entrepreneurs, MBAs, and others.
