In the Media

Media scholars and industry experts will convene on February 21 for the Fresh Global Media Players conference, a one-of-a-kind symposium on the reshaping of international media and communication.
Hosted by Northwestern University in Qatar, the conference will bring together media players from around the world, researchers and executives who bring new perspectives on the revolutionary change that is taking over international news and entertainment. The conference is sponsored by the Qatar National Research Fund as part of its vision to connect researchers in Qatar to their peers and colleagues, both at home and abroad.

HAMAD Medical Corporation (HMC) hosted the first Qatar International Pain Conference at the Qatar National Convention Center recently. It brought together 500 participants from Qatar and the abroad.
The aim of the event, organised by HMC's department of anaesthesiology, Intensive Care Unit and Perioperative Medicine in collaboration with Academic Health System (AHS) and support of Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), was to share the latest knowledge about modern-day pain management. 
The event was attended by pain specialists, general physicians, medical students and delegates from academic, government and private institutions.

Many of the items we bring you each week deal with our in house projects. Whether it is a new collection we are developing, a weekly program that has become a favorite or just an exploration of a great service we provide. These are all vital to what makes the Bioethics Research Library such a vibrant part of the bioethics community, but we would be remiss if we did not also occasionally highlight our larger, collaborative projects.
This week we are going to learn a little bit about our Islamic Medical and Scientific Ethics (IMSE) collection and show what can be accomplished when two libraries, thousands of miles apart, come together to create a truly unique resource.
