Join us on June 4, 2026, from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM for an important national discussion:
Neuroprognostication: Ethical Challenges of Predicting a Person’s Future
The leading cause of death among patients with life-threatening neurologic disorders remains withdrawal of life-sustaining measures due to a predicted poor prognosis. As evidence continues to evolve, clinicians are still faced with uncertainty, ethical complexities, and the challenge of balancing hope, suffering, and outcomes.
In this interactive session, participants will explore:
• The limitations of current neuroprognostication literature
• The complexities and unknowns of the human brain
• Implicit cognitive biases in prognostication
• Covert consciousness and the self-fulfilling prophecy
• The disability paradox and the impact of systemic ableism
Featuring:
Julie Kromm, BMSc, MD, FRCPC (Neurology & Critical Care), UCNS NCC, CSCN EEG & ASN TCD Diplomate
This session combines clinical expertise with a family perspective to encourage thoughtful reflection and evidence-based, precision-guided neuroprognostication.
