UM’s Tom Champney, a Professor of Cell Biology and Institute for Bioethics Faculty member, helped develop an unprecedented course on “Ethics & Professionalism in Teaching the Anatomical Sciences.” The resources are free and “designed to support the development of medical ethics and professionalism in health professions students while they are taking anatomy or biomedical courses.”
This project aims to collect syllabi for courses in ethics in epidemiology and/or public health. Supported by the American College of Epidemiology, the project has the goal of making available syllabi and other resources from around the world and in any language.
The Geriatrics and Ethics Project web resource provides an overview of leading ethical issues in aging. It is intended as an introduction to ethics and aging for students, health care professionals, scholars, and policy makers.

The task of making major decisions for others – often with no or only the slenderest threads of information – can be daunting. The Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy has produced an online mini-course on the topic.
