Core areas edit
The institute has four core goals:
To promote the practice of shared decision-making in medicine.
To advance social justice by reducing health disparities.
To build & promote compassionate medical students and physicians.
To focus on the social sciences and humanities that are frequently disregarded by conventional clinical programs.
Bucksbaum Institute scholars range from premedical undergraduates, faculty scholars, senior physicians, master clinicians, and international scholars who champion the cause of shared decision-making and apply clinical medical ethics as the standard of care to reduce health disparities.
