Event description: 

Now in its 14th 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;
  • The amount of personal growth one may experience when interacting with people from over 25 countries, from all continents across the globe.

Recent participants say:

  • “This is a program like none other!”
  • “These were the best two months of my life!”
  • “This was simply the best investment to help me fine-tune my career choices.”
  • “The diversity of participants and faculty made this summer truly unforgettable.”
  • “This programme is truly incredible!”
