We are excited to announce the 2024 Wylie Burke Endowed Scholarship for Diversity! The fund has been established to support University of Washington undergraduate and/or graduate students from diverse social and experiential backgrounds, who are working in interdisciplinary space to study the social, ethical, and policy implications of health research and/or healthcare. Preference shall be for students with affiliation to the Department of Bioethics & Humanities, though students from other UW departments are eligible.

Our flexible two-year, in-residence program provides students with the foundational knowledge, skills, and experience to enrich their careers and broaden their competency in bioethics. The program offers training in research and clinical aspects of bioethics as well as empirical and normative methods of analysis. Students have the opportunity to study with diverse and well-respected faculty from the University of Washington, the Treuman Katz Pediatric Bioethics Center, and the Seattle Veteran’s Health Administration.

Dr. Gina Campelia authored an article featured in Pediatric Ethiscope on the common and distressing challenge of disengagement and non-adherence of adolescent patients with chronic disease potentially leading to life-threatening complications.
