"The mission of the center is to advance bioethics and medical humanities in the modern, diverse, expanding healthcare environment through education, application, innovation and thought leadership. The center addresses cross-cutting topics that affect all areas of healthcare and all populations. We uniquely do this by engaging experts not only in medicine and science, but also in a broad array of disciplines, including philosophy, history, anthropology, and the law."
"We uniquely do this by engaging experts not only in medicine and science, but also in a broad array of disciplines, including philosophy, history, anthropology, and the law. The tools of bioethics and medical humanities draw not only from the skills required of clinicians but also from those of writers, artists and philosophers. The center brings together both the scientific and human aspects of what is required to provide high-quality healthcare, to prevent disease, and to foster well-being."
"During the first two years of medical school, students are exposed to the fundamentals of bioethics as well as insights from a variety of disciplines, including literature, law, history and more. In the last two years of medical school, learning is tied to the students' clinical experiences, using real cases encountered during their clerkships as a starting point for discussion."
The center's mission is to advance bioethics and medical humanities in a modern, diverse healthcare environment through education, application, innovation, and thought leadership. The center addresses cross-cutting topics affecting all areas of healthcare and populations by engaging experts from medicine, science, philosophy, history, anthropology, and law. Bioethics and humanities draw on clinical skills as well as those of writers, artists, and philosophers to integrate scientific and human aspects of care, disease prevention, and well-being. Educational integration spans medical school, linking foundational bioethics and interdisciplinary insights in preclinical years to case-based clinical learning in clerkships. A two-year scholar program in clinical bioethics supports residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals.
