As part of the 4th year elective series for students at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Dr. Ruth Fischbach, along with a group of expert faculty from Columbia University Medical Center, leads an intensive one month course on biomedical ethics.

Past topics have included Professionalism in Medicine, Organ Transplantation, Clinical Trials and the Pharmaceutical Industry, Medical Errors, End-of-life issues, Health Disparities, Patient Autonomy, Boundary Violations, issues in Reproductive Technologies, Stem Cell and Cloning Research, and Genetics.
