Overview

As healthcare becomes increasingly complex with both technological advances as well as social decisions that must be faced, this master’s degree program will assist any learner who wishes to pursue healthcare ethics and humanities in their future.

This is a 33-credit-hour program at Tulane University consisting of seven required core courses and four electives. This program accommodates Dual Degree MD-MS students and those students interested in pursuing the stand-alone MS degree. It is well-suited for both post-baccalaureate students progressing toward a terminal degree (e.g., an MD, JD, etc.) and mid-career professionals who wish to expand their potential in medical ethics and humanities.

Students in professional schools wishing to take an MS in a gap year may complete the program in its one-year format. All courses in our program may be attended in-person or by live synchronous teleconferencing, allowing participation from virtually anywhere.
Students pursue either the Bioethics Track or Medical Humanities Track to center their efforts, but the program is unique in providing the student both a bioethics and a medical humanities education through our interdisciplinary faculty brought together in the Program in Medical Ethics and Human Values. Core program faculty staffing the core courses are drawn from Philosophy, English, Medicine, Humanities and Clinical Ethics and boast a distinguished publication record in Bioethics and Medical Humanities.
