Offers Master of Arts in Biomedical and Clinical Ethics
The Graduate School at Loma Linda University offers an interdisciplinary
program leading to a Master of Arts degree in Biomedical and Clinical Ethics.
This program allows students to explore historic traditions of ethical thought,
gain clinical experience in the medical setting, and develop critical skills
for applying theory and values to contemporary moral and social issues.The program in Biomedical and Clinical Ethics is especially valuable for those preparing for careers as hospital chaplains, clinical ethicists, nurses, physicians, and other health-care professions. It is specifically designed for two types of students: (1) those who are pursuing this degree in order to enhance their existing careers in related fields, and (2) those who are pursuing this degree as a stepping stone to a doctorate in philosophy, theology, ethics, medicine, nursing, law, or other related fields. The MA in Biomedical and Clinical Ethics is an excellent opportunity to balance a theoretical understanding of ethics with practical application in the clinical setting.
The faculty for this program is committed to exploring ethical issues in medicine and related fields from Christian perspectives. Students come from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. A mutual and shared respect for various cultures and beliefs is emphasized on the campus and in the classroom.
The faculty offering courses in Biomedical and Clinical ethics is composed of scholars in Biblical and religious studies, bioethics, sociology of religion and ethical theory. Three of the ten members of the faculty are physicians with training and professional experience in clinical ethics. These diverse specialists provide students with rich opportunities to benefit from a variety of approaches to the fields of biomedical and clinical ethics.
The Center for Christian Bioethics at Loma Linda University provides opportunities for students to participate in the workings of an active ethics institute. The Center also possesses an extensive bioethics library. Monthly Ethics Grand Rounds are sponsored, featuring guest speakers and current issues in medicine and ethics. As a premier teaching and research hospital, Loma Linda University Medical Center is an excellent setting for the clinical aspects of this program.
