Medical Humanities & Bioethics Program

Master of Arts in Medical Humanities & Bioethics

Our program emphasizes interdisciplinary study in bioethics, the medical humanities, and the values-oriented social sciences. Students will develop both an understanding of the philosophical foundations and social contexts of bioethics and the ability to apply practically their knowledge in teaching and consultation and in making bioethics decisions.

The MA program is part-time and offered to both medical students and others interested in an MA in Medical Humanities and Bioethics. The course work is the same for all students and includes classes already part of the Feinberg School of Medicine's medical school curriculum.
