Medical Ethics and Humanities Division
Mission Statement
The Division is sponsored by the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
The Division of Medical Ethics and Humanities' mission is to prepare physicians to provide respectful, humane patient care, to address current ethical problems in health care through research and discussion and to engage with providers, patients, and families to resolve their ethical conflicts. We use relevant medicine, law, moral reasoning, literature, drama, and art to inform physicians about ethical issues and prepare them to empathize and communicate compassionately.
Congratulations to Kyle Hobbs, MD and to Anne Bennett, MD, winners of the 2009 Medical Ethics Best Essay Award presented by the Division of Medical Ethics and Humanities and Campus Institute for Human Values and Applied Ethics!
