Welcome

The Bioethics Programmes, part of the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine in the School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Montreal, offer four types of graduate training (MA & PhD) that allow students to discuss and reflect on issues that affect health policy, clinical ethics and research ethics. All four focus on the process of decision making, including the meaning, issues, methodologies, practices and problems of decision making in the health sector.

These programmes include:

• Microprogramme (MA level courses)
• Graduate Diploma (MA level courses)
• Research or Professional Masters
• PhD option in Bioethics

The Bioethics Programmes are for professionals and graduate students from any disciplinary background (e.g., humanities & social sciences, life sciences, etc.), who want to broaden their knowledge and expertise in bioethics. These programmes aim to:

• facilitate ethical decision making;
• develop a knowledge base and skills in bioethics in relation to various fields of practice;
• train bioethics consultants in either clinical practice, research or health policy;
• train researchers in the field of bioethics.
