Washington, D.C. — The Center for Clinical Bioethics at Georgetown University Medical Center today announced the establishment of an endowed lectureship in Health Care Ethics in the honor of John Collins Harvey, MD, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Medicine, and Senior Research Scholar in the Center for Clinical Bioethics.
Spearheaded by the scholars and staff of the Center, the endowed lectureship honors Harvey for his dedication and exemplary work in teaching, practice and research during his 53-year career in academic medicine both at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities. Harvey's colleagues wanted to honor him particularly for his activities in the area of clinical bioethics in the last 11 years, since his formal retirement in 1989 from his Professorship of Medicine at Georgetown University.
Harvey's colleagues at the Center are enlisting the help of friends, colleagues past and present, former students at Hopkins and Georgetown, former patients and their relatives, and his Exeter, Yale and Johns Hopkins Medical School classmates in establishing the permanent endowment for this lectureship. The Center hopes to be able to invite an internationally renowned bioethicist to be a visiting professor for three days in fall 2001. The Harvey Lecture will be open to the public.
