Learn at Your Convenience
Penn's Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy offers the training you need in research and clinical ethics. Sign up to learn in brief segments as suits your schedule and interests. For a broad view of research or clinical ethics, choose a core course, which takes about four and a half hours to complete and costs only $29.99. For specialized topics, take a micro course—a burst of learning, roughly an hour long, which costs only $7.99. Each includes lecture videos, readings, supplementary resources, and assessments. Physicians and physician assistants may earn CME credits, and nurses may earn contact hours by successfully completing these courses.
