Lead with humanity

During the final 18 months of your medical education, you have the opportunity to take online electives that will complete a 12-credit certificate in bioethics. With training in bioethics, you will be prepared to facilitate informed decision making in the face of complicated health and human service problems. The certificate emphasizes practice-based implications for health-related decision making, with particular focus on professionalism and medical ethical issues that arise in rural and underserved settings. The certificate will prepare you to be a responsive and confident physician and equip you with leadership skills that will further benefit you as you enter residency and practice.
