Pioneering Bioethics: An Anniversary Celebration
The Bioethics Program of Clarkson University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Twentieth Anniversary Lecture Series
The founding aim of the The Bioethics Program was to eliminate the barrier of geography to a quality bioethics education. Students from around the world have enrolled in The Bioethics Program. Through a series of grants from the National Institutes of Health’s Fogarty International Center, the Program has been able to eliminate both the geographical and financial barriers to students in low- and middle income countries. In 2004, Prof. Martin Strosberg was awarded the first grant, “E-Education in Research Ethics: Central and Eastern Europe” forming a partnership with Vilnius University, Lithuania. These efforts continue with three current grants. Prof. Rosamond Rhodes’ leads two grants to develop Research Ethics Master’s degree programs at the University of Belgrade, Serbia and Iuliu Haţieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. And, Prof. Paul Cummins is the principal investigator at Clarkson, also, to develop Master’s degree programs at Autonomous University of Querétaro, Mexico and Saint George’s University, Grenada.
In this session, we highlight and celebrate the achievements of the trainees, fellows, and graduates from over 34 countries as research ethicists, scholars/researchers, educators, and change agents at the institutional and national levels.
The Bioethics Program’s lecture series to mark its twentieth anniversary continues with a panel to discuss these programs. Principal investigators, partners, and trainees from these grants will discuss their experience.
