Program
Description
Biomedical ethics is a rapidly expanding field of study that investigates the ethical issues raised by changes in technology, culture, environment, and law in fields across healthcare and public health. Understanding these issues is vital for students intending to pursue careers in healthcare or public policy. A certificate in biomedical ethics prepares healthcare professionals to respond to ethical issues in the field and understand the constraints upon patients' choices, clinicians' actions, and implications for others who are not directly involved. This training can help set you apart from other applicants for jobs in healthcare and public policy.
