Ethical Challenges on the Frontiers of Medicine
Dr. Caplan is currently the Drs. William F. and Virginia Connolly Mitty Professor and founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU School of Medicine in New York City. Prior to NYU, he founded three biomedical ethics centers at Columbia University, University of Pittsburg, and University of Pennsylvania. His depth and breadth of knowledge, and thorough assessments in both medical and biomedical field have led him to be described as one of the 10 most influential people in science by DISCOVER. He holds many distinguished honors and awards for his contributions in the field of bioethics including the Patricia Price Browne Prize in Biomedical Ethics and the Public Service Award from the National Science Foundation/National Science Board. Additionally, he is the author and editor of thirty-five books and over 850 papers in peer reviewed journals. In a nation with limited financial resources and access to health care, Dr. Caplan’s thoughtful, ethical, and expert assessment will be provocative.
