The conference will include the annual WF Mitchell Bioethics seminar.Saskatchewan is home to one of the largest First Nations populations in Canada. In addition, both population and workforce in Saskatchewan are of increasing ethnic diversity. The conference aims to discuss the provision of ethical health care to ethnically diverse populations and individuals. The conference is an important opportunity for academics, health care workers and other service providers to share knowledge about how to care in an ethical manner for people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Further, it aims to raise awareness of ethics‐related issues which may arise when people from diverse cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds make up a health care workforce.

“Health Care Ethics in A Changing Context: First Nations, Métis & Immigrant Communities” is being coordinated by St Paul’s Hospital, with special support from the St Paul’s Hospital Foundation and the Saskatoon Health Region.
