Overview

Mount Sinai School of Medicine has a broad and comprehensive program in bioethics. It began in 1980 as the work of a small faculty committee on Medical Ethics chaired by James J. Strain, M.D. and an Ethics Committee chaired by Kurt Hirschhorn, M.D. and a Faculty Seminar in the History and Philosophy of Medicine organized by Daniel A. Moros, M.D. initiated in 1981. Since then, the program has grown to include a curriculum for teaching bioethics to M.D. and Ph.D. students, house staff, and students in our several Masters degree programs. It also involves institutional relationships between MSSM, the Graduate Center, CUNY, The Union Graduate College, and an international academic consortium on bioethics that includes Oxford University, King's College, London, Maastricht University, and Bar Ilan University.
