INTERNATIONAL BIOETHICS

SPRING BREAK STUDY ABROAD
 

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.

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.

    Testimonial

    Without a doubt, I strongly recommend the Bioethics Spring Break trips.  As a student who desperately wanted to go abroad for a semester, but could not because of commitments on campus, this was the perfect experience.  The people we met in the Dutch health system, sex industry, and drug policy were fascinating.  Learning from their first hand experiences made class fun and the readings worthwhile.  I wish all classes were like this!  Also, the class gives enough free time for the students to get to know the city and explore on their own.  The bioethics trip to Amsterdam was the perfect trip for an individual interested in any type of health, policy, or drug work.  I cannot wait for my next experience!
