Center for Global Health Ethics

Healthcare ethics is an interdisciplinary field that exists in a globalized context, one that engages clinical, organizational, professional and research issues related to medicine, science, law, policy, social science and the humanities. At Duquesne University's Center for Global Health Ethics, you’ll come together with professors and healthcare ethics professionals to explore scenarios, issues and current events in healthcare ethics, and ask difficult questions that drive meaningful change in an array of ethics fields in healthcare. 
 
The center provides scholarly and professional training in healthcare ethics consistent with the Catholic, Spiritan identity of Duquesne University, based on the university’s liberal arts foundation. Duquesne is committed to an atmosphere that is open to diversity to celebrate education of the mind, heart and spirit.  We also cultivate academic excellence, ethically responsible judgment, and social justice in a globalized context. 
 
The center prepares you, as an emerging leader in healthcare ethics, with the relevant skills to work in the healthcare environment and to address the challenges of today and tomorrow collaboratively with professionals and organizations.  

New alumni have been awarded prestigious fellowships, including those of the Cleveland Clinic, MD Anderson, and Wellstar. Current and recently graduated students have been hired as clinical ethicists by healthcare organizations such as CommonSpirit Health and Ascension Health.
