This collaboration between Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Cardozo Law builds upon the long history and rich clinical experience of the Montefiore-Einstein bioethics consultation service. With integrated courses designed specifically for the bioethics curriculum, our program provides personal enrichment while equipping you with the skills you need to navigate the nuances of policy and regulation in a changing healthcare environment.

2.  BioethicsDegree at New York
Center for bioethics offers all the courses and
study materials for all the students and professionals
who are looking to pursue their career in the field of
bioethics. This is the perfect place for all those who love
to research on the ethical issues related to
healthcare, policy formation, administrative decisions,
etc. This interdisciplinary collaboration lets students
and professionals understand all the concepts involved
in it and will let them make constructive decisions
in the future. Ethical practitioners are the ones that create
critical decisions for the future. There are different course
programs offered at the Penn center for bioethics. All
these different courses offer the necessary depth of
knowledge and analysis that you may need to enhance
your knowledge.

3. Einstein Education
Einstein’s M.D. program prepares tomorrow’s physicians to excel in
both the science and the art of medicine by combining the pursuit of
scientific excellence with compassionate and humanistic care and the
social mission to improve human health through engagement in our
local, national, and global communities. Our Graduate Programs in the
Biomedical Sciences train some of today’s brightest students to
become the next generation of leading scientific researchers, while
our Medical Scientist Training Program (resulting in both M.D. and
Ph.D. degrees) embraces a comprehensive "bench to bedside"
philosophy to nurture the development of well-rounded physician-
scientists. In all, the College of Medicine offers six graduate degree
programs.

4. Research Round-Up
Vaccinating Against Herpes Simplex Viruses—Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV)
causes herpes--a common illness involving recurrent oral or genital skin
lesions. There is no effective vaccine to prevent herpes, andantiviral drugs
reduce symptoms but do not eradicate the virus. In a report in the August 4 JCI
Insight, Betsy Herold, M.D., andWilliam Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D., co-senior authors,
and colleagues demonstrate that a new vaccine candidate developed in their
labs (DgD-2) protected mice infected by genetically diverse strains of HSV-1
and HSV-2 that were provided by Amy Fox, M.D., at the Clinical Virology Lab of
Montefiore. The vaccine induces antibodies that rapidly clear the virus from
the skin before it can establish latency and persist in the body. These results
distinguish this vaccine from all other candidate vaccines in the field. The
study’s lead author was Christopher D. Petro, a graduate student from their
labs. Dr. Herold is professor of pediatrics, of microbiology & immunology, and
of obstetrics & gynecology and women’s health. Dr. Jacobs is professor
of microbiology & immunology and genetics, and is a Howard Hughes Medical
Institute investigator.

5. Searching for Consensus on
“Healthy” Foods
Get 10 registered dietitian/nutritionists (RDNs) in a room and the
chance of us “talking shop” is virtually 100 percent. While there’d
be a robust debate about some subjects, we’d all agree that the
question we get more than any other from the public is, “Is this
healthy?” and various iterations of the same.
Many consumers have definite ideas about what’s healthy and
what’s not. So do nutritionists. According to a survey recently
conducted by the New York Times that contrasted responses of
the public and members of the American Society of Nutritionists,
a professional organization, the two groups frequently disagree
about whether a food is “healthy.”
