BIOE 5101 Bioethics and Medical Humanities I

This year-long course can be taken independently to earn a Certificate and will also count as the required introductory course for the Master of Science in Bioethics. Faculty collaborate with students in a combination of two retreats and weekly seminars to offer an intellectually rich program introducing the foundations of bioethics as a field, key principles in moral theory, methods of legal and literary analysis, and the skills necessary to apply the insights of bioethics in our daily practice and research. We examine core bioethics issues using a multiplicity of perspectives and draw upon the depth of expertise not only of faculty but also of our participants, many of whom bring years of clinical, legal and other professional experience to the program.
