School of Pharmacy Hosts Healthcare Ethics Speaker
Dr. Bruce White, an expert in healthcare ethics and author of Drugs, Ethics and Quality of Life, spoke to Belmont University’s inaugural pharmacy class on Tues., Aug. 26 as part of the students' orientation to the School of Pharmacy. His speech, “Reflections on Who We Are,” focused on ethical dilemmas the incoming students will no doubt face and encouraged them to remember their foundation as they prepare for their profession in the field of pharmacy.
“Remember who you are; who you are now will be as important four years from now as it is today,” White said. “There will be challenges and dilemmas, but with faith you’re going to succeed.”
White is a pharmacist, board-certified pediatrician and attorney with fellowship training in clinical medical ethics. He currently serves as a member of the general pediatrics residency faculty at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Ariz. and holds faculty appointments at Arizona College of Medicine and Creighton University School of Medicine. He also serves as professor and director of the campus-wide, interdisciplinary Healthcare Ethics and Law Institute at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. He is a senior fellow in Nashville's Center for Clinical Ethics at Summit Medical Center, the clinical ethics education service for Hospital Corporation of America.
