On March 16 2015, the UCI Medical Humanities Initiative and the UCI Program in Medical Ethics co-sponsored “Not Whether by How: A Conversation with BJ Miller” in the UCI Center for Applied Innovation. Following and introduction by Doug Haynes, the Director of the Medical Humanities Initiative, this event was formatted as a discussion between Aaron Kheriaty, the Director of the Medical Ethics Program and Dr. Miller. Drs. Miller and Kheriaty spoke about the nature of palliative care and how one can be compassionate at the end of life. This conversation was based on the content of Dr. Miller’s popular TED talk. They were also live-tweeted questions by the audience of almost 200 from UCI and the surrounding community. You can find a recording of this event here and photo album here.
