The Bishop Lecture in Bioethics
The University of Michigan Medical School was the beneficiary of funds for the establishment of the Ronald C. and Nancy V. Bishop Lectureship in Bioethics. Both were graduates of the University of Michigan Medical School (Class of ’44). Ronald Bishop joined the U-M Medical School faculty in 1951 and pursued a career in research, teaching, and patient care in the Department of Internal Medicine, Hematology Division, until his retirement in 1987. He served as Director of the Unit for Human Values in Medicine (1981-1984) at the Medical School, and as a visiting scholar at the Hastings Center. Both Ronald and Nancy were strongly committed to social justice and were active members of the Ann Arbor community.

In addition to sponsoring bioethics lectures and grand rounds, CBSSM also hosts a seminar series in which internal and external speakers present their research on medical decision making or bioethics topics to the broader University of Michigan community.
Working group meetings provide an opportunity for investigators to receive feedback on research proposals, drafts of papers, grant applications, or any other aspects of projects at any stage of development. This meeting is designed as an informal working group not a formal presentation. For more details look under the How We Can Help section.
CBSSM is committed to maintaining our research community throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. Working Group Meetings will take place virtually using Zoom, which enables us to have our lively and constructive feedback discussions.
To see the schedule for upcoming meetings please check the Events calendar. The next working group meeting is listed below.
If you are interested in scheduling or have questions please contact Amy @ [email protected]du
Summer working group meetings will only be scheduled as requested. Our regularly scheduled series resumes in the Fall.
