Student Perspective
“My medical ethics courses and medical anthropology have both helped me be able to have knowledge on people’s backgrounds. [They taught me] how culture and health care intersect, and, being mindful of that, I am able to provide better care to the patients I do have. When I am out there in the field, I think back to lessons or discussions we had in class and I’m like, ‘Woah, this really applies here’.â€

With so many different angles to discover biomedical ethics, your unique approach is needed. Students have created projects to study individual autonomy in a pandemic, uses of different health supplements, gender inequality and health, and more.
Biomedical Ethics Outcomes
A good complement to science and medicine-oriented majors, the biomedical ethics minor inspires a humanities-based understanding of medicine, health, and society that is sought in a variety of career paths.
