Current Challenges in Cancer Bioethics

Columbia University's new Cancer Bioethics course--the first of its kind--offers a comprehensive exploration of the diverse ethical issues that arise in the context of cancer care and research, providing students with an analytic framework for complex moral dilemmas faced by patients, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers. 

The Master of Science in Bioethics program grounds students in interdisciplinary approaches and models to address the most pressing bioethical challenges. The Bioethics program prepares students to act as responsible and responsive leaders in this new and ever-growing field.

Join us for this session in which distinguished Bioethics faculty will provide you with insight into the program and answer any questions you may have about the courses they lead at Columbia University.
