Why should teachers learn about Bioethics Club?

Bioethics Club is a great way to …

  • promote a culture of respectful dialogue, exploration of ethics and values
  • develop ethical thinking and research skills in high school students
  • support independent student engagement in the community and wider world
  • encourage students to consider careers in medical, health, and non-profit sectors
  • foster connections between High School and medical schools
  • develop intrinsic motivation and interdisciplinary study skills

To see how members of one bioethics club, at The Rivers School in Massachusetts USA, have engaged their local community, see members’ work with the non-profit Community Voices in Medical Ethics here.
