 e of the UNC School of Medicine’s oldest and most prestigious endowed le
 ctureships\, the Merrimon Lectureship sponsors an annual event of public l
 ectures and consultations involving a distinguished senior speaker address
 ing issues in the ethics and history of the health professions. The Center
  for Bioethics coordinates this lectureship\, in collaboration with the UN
 C School of Medicine Dean’s Office.\n\nThe Merrimon lectureship was esta
 blished by the late Dr. Louise Merrimon Perry\, and inaugurated in 1966. D
 r. Perry’s idea was that the lectures be open to all\, but that they be 
 concerned with the origins\, traditions and history of the medical profess
 ion and of that ethical philosophy which must dominate this field of human
  endeavors. It was her intention that the Merrimon Lecturers be distinguis
 hed both for scientific or clinical skills and a notably humane attitude t
 owards medicine.\n\nEvent Co-sponsored by:\nUNC Center for Bioethics\nUNC
