    Thomas S. Harbin, MD, previews his 2017 Dr. Allan Jensen & Claire Jensen Lecture: Practical Ethics in Ophthalmology.

    “‘I’m ethical—it’s the doctor across town I worry about.’ So say we all, since none of us thinks we’re unethical. 

    “I think there is room for debate. Maybe there are situations in which we push the ethical boundaries. My lecture will take a look at the day-to-day practical situations in which our decisions bump up against the best interests of the patient, both medical and financial, hence the title—‘Practical Ethics in Ophthalmology.’

    “Conflict of interest is pervasive, even at meetings when we aren’t seeing patients. This lecture will stimulate you to consider the ethical dimensions of all that you do.”—Dr. Harbin

    When:     Monday Nov. 13, 2:30-3:05 p.m., followed by a 20-minute Q&A, during Sym41, Dr. Allan Jensen & Claire Jensen Lecture in Professionalism and Ethics (2:30-3:25 p.m.), at AAO 2017.
    Where: New Orleans Theater C.
