The Department of Bioethics and Interdisciplinary Studies at The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University carries out a three-fold mission of professional education, research, and service.
The department teaches required courses in all four years of medical school, including courses on the ethical and social aspects of medicine in the first and second years, case-based ethics seminars with third-year students during their various clinical clerkship rotations, and "selectives" in ethics, law, philosophy, history, literature, and social policy for fourth-year students. In addition, the faculty teach a graduate course for the basic science students.
The department contributes to the intellectual life of the university, the medical center, and the community through its Perspectives Lecture Series, its Readers' Theater Program, and participation in a variety of continuing education programs. Faculty members also serve on school of medicine, university, and hospital committees, including those which address ethical issues.

2012 Summer Fellowship Program
The goal of the Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies Summer Fellowship program is to stimulate interest in ethical, cultural, aesthetic, and social dimensions of health, disease, and healing by inviting first year medical students to develop and submit original proposals relating to humanities and medicine. Students may work on projects in North Carolina, or they may use the Fellowship as an opportunity to do a project elsewhere in the United States or abroad. Proposals are awarded on a competitive basis. Student Fellows have the summer between their first and second year to develop and complete their Fellowship. At the conclusion of their projects, Fellows submit a paper, or other appropriate product, and give several public presentations.
The Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies has awarded four fellowships this year. Please check back this fall for more information on the presentations of these projects. For more information on each of the individual projects, please click here.
