Advances in biomedicine have increased the
ethical challenges that are faced by health care professionals in clinical and
health research settings. As a result expertise in biomedical ethics, the field
that studies ethical issues in biomedicine, has become increasingly sought
after.
Within the context of its commitment to
promoting training schemes for health care professionals, the Careum foundation
encourages advanced studies in biomedical ethics by offering a three-year
doctoral fellowship in association with the University of Zurich’s PhD program
in Biomedical Ethics and Law/medical track.
The Careum Fellow will be a PhD student at the University of Zurich’s PhD program in Biomedical Ethics and Law/medical track (PhD BmEL/med). The PhD BmEL/med is a newly established program, developed according to the Bologna requirements and consists of coursework and original research which leads to a dissertation.
Eligible candidates should hold a University Master’s degree in health care related sciences (such as nursing sciences), should have demonstrated academic excellence and be fluent in English. They should be interested in pursuing their doctoral research in the area of nursing ethics. Applications should be sent to the PhD BmEL/med. The application form as well as detailed list of application requirement and application process can be found in: www.bmel.uzh.ch/med
The principle of justice is undoubtedly a central theme in biomedical ethics; it plays a crucial role in bioethical analysis of questions on health resource allocation, international medical research, public health, access to health care etc. Three UFSP fellowships were awarded to our students to pursue their PhD in the area of justice and health. This fellowship cycle is closed.
