Around the world, ethical issues in medicine and the

life sciences are addressed in different ways,

reflecting different cultural traditions and social

systems. Gaining an appreciation for this

international diversity is critical to students of

bioethics around the world, and can be an

illuminating intellectual experience.

To help address this need, the Department of Bioethics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio (USA) has developed study abroad partnerships with a number of academic institutions in other countries. Our goal is to expose our students to diverse perspectives on bioethics through our partners, and to provide our partners' students with intensive experiences with American approaches to bioethics in Cleveland, Ohio.

These 3-credit courses are open to all undergraduate and graduate students from Case Western Reserve University and other universities that will allow the Case credits to transfer.  No prerequisite courses are required. 

Michelle Champoir, M.A. is Director of International Education Programs for the Department of Bioethics. She can be reached at (216) 368-5377 or mln10@case.edu.
