Centre for Medical Ethics

The Centre for Medical Ethics (CME) is one of Europe's largest centres for medical and healthcare ethics. Our area of study spans from moral challenges in the patient-provider encounter, to research ethics and philosophy of medicine.

Research

CME has three prioritized research areas:

  • Philosophy and ethics of medicine and healthcare
  • Research ethics and integrity within medicine and healthcare sciences
  • Clinical ethics and priority setting

Teaching and dissemination

In addition to research, CME staff teach and disseminate within the field of medical and healthcare ethics. CME is responsible for teaching medical ethics to medical students and also has several master courses. At the PhD level, CME staff teach research ethics and philosophy of science. CME is also responsible for national coordination and development of clinical ethics committees in hospitals and municipalities.

CME is one of six departments at the Institute of Health and Society.
