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 health-care 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.
Clinical Bioethics Fellowship
The Clinical Bioethics Fellowship is a two-year program (with an option for an additional year) that trains clinicians in bioethics with an emphasis on pediatrics issues in the clinical and research arenas.
Case-Based Teaching Guides
We provide materials using cases and discussion points for education and training of health professionals and students.
Grand Rounds
Each year the Center for Pediatric Bioethics sponsors three to four presentations that focus on ethical issues in medicine.
Consent, Assent and Parental Permission (CAPP) Mentoring Program
The purpose of the program is to improve communication skills of researchers and research staff when engaging families about decisions for participation in clinical research.
