Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lecture

2002-05 | 2006-08 | 2009-10

The Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lectures were created to foster discussion in one of two areas: issues in responsible communication between patients, families, professional care givers, and counselors; or issues in biomedical ethics.

The series was established in honor of Matthew Vandivier Sims, who died in infancy. It is a collaboration between the Matthew Vandivier Sims Memorial Lecture Fund and the Poynter Center.
