Is medical ethics a thing and how do I get into it?

r/

Hello all, I can take this down if it isn’t the right sub. Most of my college expiriance is in applied science, and right now I’m learning about ethics and Im really interested in pursuing medical ethics.

I dont really know where to start or what to look into, I’ve spoken to some professors who say vague things like “there are a lot of jobs in that area” and some folks in the nursing forums have suggested looking into getting a JD.

If anyone has any suggestions or can point me in a better direction, I’m open to hearing about it 🙂

Thank you!

    For a degree program you’re looking for at least a Masters in BioEthics. It appears programs are pretty widespread. I’m fascinated by it also. Good luck!

    Medical ethics is typically a track in philosophy programs.

    I know that in the Netherlands we have specific master’s programs in medical humanities and health care ethics.
