Overview
In recent decades, bioethics has emerged as a priority within medical education institutions and among ethics educators. Many factors account for this greater emphasis on bioethics, including major developments in science and technology, such as advances in stem cell research, significant societal changes, a better-educated public, and increased public attention to issues of patient rights and patient empowerment. The Fellowship in Bioethics provides an opportunity for researchers to explore ethical issues that arise in the everyday practice of contemporary medicine.
Institutions interested in this fellowship program should submit research proposals for programs and initiatives centered on issues such as doctor-patient confidentiality, genetic testing, stem cell research, professional boundaries, conflicts of interest, informed consent for treatment and research, and end-of-life care.
