About the Pathway
The Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy offers the Medical Ethics Pathway for medical students seeking to develop greater knowledge and expertise in medical ethics. The Medical Ethics Pathway was initiated by members of the class of 1993 and was the first "pathway" of electives at 7m视频. Other "pathways" at the College are modeled on the Medical Ethics Pathway. The Medical Ethics Pathway was also the first medical ethics track in any medical school in the United States, which other medical schools have used as a model in developing their own medical ethics tracks.
