The International Philosophy of Medicine Roundtable (IPMR) is an open group of philosophers, clinicians, epidemiologists, social scientists, statisticians, bioethicists, and anyone else with an interest in epistemological and ontological issues connected with medicine. Its goal is to promote study of these philosophical issues by connecting people with an interest in them and organizing forums for the exchange of ideas.
This year’s Roundtable – the 12th International Philosophy of Medicine Roundtable – is hosted in London on the 2nd & 3rd of June, with generous financial support from the British Society for the Philosophy of Science and the Analysis Trust.
We look forward to seeing you in London!
