Overview

Our Bioethics program at Case Western Reserve University, one of the first of its kind in the country, will train you to conceptualize, design and conduct both normative ethical analyses and empirical research on bioethical issues.

Features

Here, you’ll learn how to integrate your disciplinary skills with other scholarly approaches to produce multidimensional analyses of bioethical research problems—and how to obtain funding for, and lead, the collaborative research teams that such analyses require.

Upon completion of our program, you’ll be prepared to become a bioethicist with a health system, a faculty member in a bioethics or clinical department, a leader or member of research teams, or you might choose to further your PhD studies in medicine or law.
