Department of Bioethics, Humanism, and Policy
Our Mission
The mission of the Department of Bioethics, Humanism, and Policy is to clarify, study, teach, and disseminate issues of moral, social, environmental, legal, and policy importance in academic medicine, health care, population health, and biomedical research that respond to the needs of our community.
Our Vision
The vision of the Department of Bioethics, Humanism, and Policy is to emerge as a center for collaborative, transdisciplinary scholarship and teaching.
