Major Accomplishments
The Center
administrators and staff are committed to attaining local, national and
international recognition for the Tuskegee University Bioethics Center. The
Center Director has worked tirelessly to assure that a core group of African
American professionals are represented within the bioethics community. To this
end, the Center Director has accomplished the following:
-
Lectured, conducted
training and education workshops, sponsored and hosted visiting scholars.
-
Established
collaborative relationships with other bioethics centers across the country.
-
Participated
in a seminar series hosted by the Howard University Hospital. The series
provided a basis for open discussion on the topic of spirituality and medicine
by bringing together the worlds of religious tradition and medicine.
-
Received the
"Distinguished Service Award" from the American Society of Bioethics and
Humanitarian (October 2001).
Center staff
participated in the University of Washington Medical Schools’ Summer Seminar in
Health Care Ethics. This annual one week seminar is an intensive introduction
to the concepts, methods, and literature of health care ethics. The audience
included physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, attorneys, teachers and
other professionals involved in the care of patients or education of health
providers. This seminar provided participants with skills and information
sufficient to enable them to make competent ethical decisions in clinical
situations and to assist others in doing so.
Faculty and staff also participated in the intensive bioethics course at
Georgetown University. This program offers bioethics courses designed to
address the most challenging topics in health care ethics. These courses
provide the opportunity for participants from different fields and disciplines
to come together for a few days to explore the theoretical framework and
practical issues of bioethics with a distinguished faculty. In a unique
structure, lectures and panel discussions are paired with small group
discussions, allowing detailed exploration of issues and personal interaction
with faculty and course participants.
In addition to the external
activities of the Center and its Director, ongoing campus activities are
expanding and enhancing the culture of the Tuskegee University campus.
-
The Center Director
has continually identified external short courses, sabbaticals, and exchange
programs in bioethics to enhance the continuing education of staff.
-
Faculty and staff
have participated in faculty exchange, curriculum development and partnership
opportunities through new and long-standing linkages with Tuskegee
University.
-
The Center hosted
its third annual Commemorative Celebration drawing more then 300 registrants
from within the Tuskegee University Community and across the country.
-
The Center
conducted a national IRB workshop for development directors and research staff
from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This effort was
conducted collaboration with the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA).
-
Staff attended a
two day Professional Development and Planning Meeting at StillWaters Resort &
Conference Center.
The Center continues
to serve the Tuskegee University Community through the bioethics Reading Group,
the Bioethics Special Seminars & Lecture Series, the Wednesday film series,
independent research awards, and grants and collaborative working projects among
university centers and community based organizations.
