The Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics at Yale University will host two acclaimed programs this summer:
Foundations of Bioethics (4 days, from June 4-7, 2018);
Summer Institute in Bioethics (7 weeks; from June 1-July 21, 2018)
The “Foundations” program consists of an introduction to ethical theory along with a review of bioethical principles, theories, terms, and history, and concludes with an optional site visit to
The Hastings Center in NY.
The 7-week program starts with Foundations then covers ethical issues pertaining to a broad range of topics including medicine, law, religion, public health, disability ethics, animal ethics, and the environment.
Morning lectures are followed by small-group mini-courses in the afternoons.
Participants can choose from over 20 mini-courses.
Participants include graduate students and professionals along with a few select undergraduates.
Participants receive mentoring from experts in the field and have ample opportunity to tailor the program to meet their career & research goals.
A small percentage of top participants will be invited to participate in “Fast Track” which provides weekly 1:1 tutoring to help participants complete a paper – to be submitted to a journal by the end of the program.
** Applications are processed on a rolling basis. Slots are currently still available **
Tuition: $1,875 (undergraduates); $2,275 (graduate students); $3,275 (professionals) Rates for this 2-month program are comparable to 1-week summer programs at similar institutions.
Course credit may be available, and housing is available within walking distance for an additional cost.
