Since the new United States President took office in January 2025, his administration has made major changes to the government with seismic impacts on science, public health, and global health policy. What do these changes mean for these fields, the professionals working within them, and the people they serve? With so many core principles and values now in question, how can and should bioethics institutions and people working in health ethics provide resources to these professionals? Are there other ways that people working in health ethics, individually and collectively, should be responding to the policy shifts inside and outside the US?
Four panelists will address these questions:
1 Gregg Gonsalves, PhD. Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Yale School of Public Health; Associate (Adjunct) Professor of Law, Yale Law School; Co-Director, Global Health Justice Partnership; Affiliated Faculty, Yale Institute for Global Health.
2 Olusoji Adeyi, MD, MBA, DrPH. President, Resilient Health Systems; Senior Associate, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; Former Director of the Health, Nutrition and Global Practice and as Senior Advisor for Human Development, World Bank.
