Bioethics Education
The Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics is committed to training clinicians for academic careers in bioethics to ensure that the next generation of scholars, teachers and consultants are able to engage in pediatric bioethics issues and to encourage medical students and residents to consider careers in bioethics.
We will engage students and healthcare professionals in reasoning and problem solving that draws heavily on the knowledge base of ethics-related disciplines. We reject both the absolutist view that there is only one right answer and the relativistic view that all answers are as good as any others.
We provide materials using cases and discussion points for education and training of health professionals and students.
Each year, the Center for Pediatric Bioethics sponsors three to four presentations that focus on ethical issues in medicine.
