The Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics is an educational institution located within the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine of Harvard Medical School.[1][2] The goal of the institution is to instruct ethical reasoning to medical students throughout the 4-year basic degree program curriculum, supporting and strengthen the ethics programs at HMS teaching hospitals and affiliated facilities, and educating and preparing future generation of practitioners and leaders in bioethics.[3]
