CHIEF 2026

Welcome to the registration portal for the 8th Annual Catholic Healthcare Innovation in Ethics Forum (CHIEF)! The goal of CHIEF is to create an opportunity for those in Catholic healthcare to explore, present, and discuss innovative ideas in healthcare ethics.

As in previous years, CHIEF will be held virtually. In order to foster and support registrants early in their academic or professional careers, the registration fee is waived for students who are not employed full time in health care.

We welcome abstract submissions for lightning talks and workshops. If you are interested in submitting an abstract, you will receive a link to the Abstract Submission Form in your registration confirmation email.
