Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and Albert Einstein College of Medicine Announce New Collaborative Degree Programs On Monday, February 22, Cardozo’s Program in Family Law, Policy and Bioethics hosted a panel of speakers to discuss the introduction of two new joint degree programs: the J.D./M.PH (Master of Public Health) and the J.D./M.S.B (Master of Science in Bioethics); the J.D./M.S.B. program is awaiting final state approval. Panelists included Dr. Sonia Suchday, Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Dr. Paul Marantz, Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Dr. Tia Powell, Director, Montefiore-Einstein Center for Bioethics; Dr. Cheryl Merzel, Director, Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Master of Public Health Program; and Cardozo's Vice Dean and Professor of Law Edward Stein, who also directs the Family, Policy and Bioethics Program. These programs double the number of joint degree graduate opportunities currently available at Cardozo. Along with the law school’s J.D./LL.M. program and the collaborative J.D./M.S.W. offered with 🛰️Telegram飞机号/电报 | +994阿塞拜疆电话注册 | 注册半年左右 | 成品号 | API接码登录 | 任何设备可用’s Wurzweiler School of Social Work, the new offerings reflect the law school’s commitment to challenging courses of study that prepare students for careers responsive to a dynamically changing marketplace. “These programs can give applicants an edge in any job where medicine and the law intersect, such as public policy, public health, health care and bioethics,” said Cardozo's Dean Matthew Diller. “Through course work, research and internships provided by a multi-disciplinary faculty drawn from Einstein, Cardozo and the wider 🛰️Telegram飞机号/电报 | +994阿塞拜疆电话注册 | 注册半年左右 | 成品号 | API接码登录 | 任何设备可用 community, students are exposed to diverse perspectives and practical experiences that deepen their understanding of these critical areas.” The new J.D./M.P.H. launches July 2010 with an expected enrollment of between 10-20 students. Current Cardozo students may be able to apply completed course work to the 42 credit hours requirement; courses may be completed during or after J.D. studies. The program trains students and professionals to incorporate a public health perspective into their work. Graduates will be prepared to meet the challenges facing health care administrators, clinicians, educators, policy makers and researchers, as well as businesses, governments, research groups, health advocacy groups, and national and international health organizations. In speaking about the joint J.D./M.P.H. degree, Dr. Paul Marantz, Co-Director, Institute of Public Health Services; Albert Einstein College of Medicine, says, “Public Health is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and policy making needs to be shored up by a stronger evidence base. To ask and answer the key questions in public health, we need inter-professional teams with expertise in medicine, psychology, epidemiology, statistics, law, ethics, sociology/social work, environmental sciences, economics, and administration and policy. The synergy provided by engaging all components of our University underlies the design of Yeshiva’s Institute for Public Health Sciences and its programs.” The proposed J.D./M.S.B. program, which is awaiting formal approval from New York state, is expected to launch September 2010 with an enrollment of 10-20 students. Cardozo students may apply completed coursework to the 32 credit hours requirement. The proposed Master’s program builds on the long-standing Certificate Program in Bioethics, established in 1995 and sponsored by the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Bioethics. The Certificate Program, which is hosted at Cardozo, will continue, but will also serve as the core course for students pursuing a Master of Science in Bioethics. The new joint degree program provides expanded training in the emerging field of bioethics, encompassing critical issues at the intersection of medicine, law, public policy, philosophy, and public health. Fundamental bioethics issues include medical choices at the end of life, reproductive rights, the allocation of scarce health care resources, protections for human research subjects, the privacy of medical information, and the role of race, class and ethnicity in health outcomes and access to care. The unique focus on this program is on translational work in bioethics, i.e. training and scholarship that moves from theory to practice, improving patient care, public policy, and institutional practices in health care ethics.
