DESCRIPTION:Join the GW School of Public Health's Bioethics Interest Group 
 (BIG) as we discuss Why Study Religion and Spirituality in Bioethics in ou
 r webinar series hosted by the Office of Research Excellence (ORE) this mo
 nth. \n\nReligion and spirituality play significant roles in how people pe
 rceive illness\, healing\, suffering\, and end-of-life decisions. Yet thes
 e deep personal beliefs are often left out of medical and policy conversat
 ions.\n\nThis webinar will explore how faith and spiritual values influenc
 e ethical decisions in healthcare—shaping issues such as patient autonom
 y\, moral distress\, and culturally responsive care. Experts in bioethics\
 , theology\, and public health will discuss why recognizing these perspect
 ives is crucial and how a more holistic approach can foster trust\, enhanc
 e communication\, and support more equitable\, compassionate care for all.
