These future health professionals will be able to identify and promote policies and practices that ensure scientific research, health care delivery, and technological innovation are conducted in a socially and ethically responsible manner. They will also appreciate how bioscience and health care take place within cultural and social contexts and how culture interacts with an individual’s experience of illness and the way medicine is practiced.

Students interested in a certificate in Bioethics will develop their skills in observation, analysis, empathy and self-reflection. This certificate will help students identify, analyze, and resolve moral and social conflicts as they might arise in the care of patients and new technology and research. It heightens a student's sensitivity to the health care experiences of others as well as technological advancements and how those are shaped by social, political and cultural circumstances

Medical humanities lie at the intersection of human experience, medical practice and scientific technology. It refers to the interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary application of the humanities and social sciences to health education and its practice. It provides insight into the human condition, suffering, personhood and our responsibility to each other. It also helps us understand how bioscience and health care take place within cultural and social contexts and how culture interacts with the individual experience of illness and the way medicine is practiced.
