This program will address the ethical challenges faced by health professionals working during times of war and political conflict as well as ethical challenges faced by health professionals working with refugees and displaced persons, exploring lessons learned from the Holocaust through the challenges facing health professionals today in the fall out of contemporary war crimes and political violence.
