Why Attend?
Now in its 13th year, Yale’s Summer Institute in Bioethics is a unique and cherished program. The Summer Institute is an intensive summer program for U.S. and international graduate students and professionals (with a select number of undergraduates) from varying disciplines. The program offers approximately 150-200 contact hours (depending on student preference).
Our impressive faculty infuse the program with their enthusiasm, energy, and expertise, presenting lectures and seminars on a wide range of topics including gene editing, “a good death,” environmental ethics and social justice, OneHealth, and patient-centered clinical ethics.
This program is unparalleled in terms of:

The breadth, depth, and quality of bioethics topics discussed in lectures and seminars;
-
The faculty-to-participant ratio (our faculty nearly outnumber our participants);
-
The enthusiasm of our faculty;
