Students' Voices in Bioethics
Founded in June 2019, the CU Bioethics (CUBE) Newsletter is a student-teacher collaborative platform that strives to foster a continual and inclusive discourse and brings together insightful discussions by students and teachers on ethics of clinical medicine, public health, and emerging technologies.
Our objectives are to:
- Raise awareness for ethical issues in Bioethics among medical students
- Encourage and promote critical thinking and self-reflection on one’s values
- Support medical education at CUHK
We welcome all written works pertaining to biomedical ethics – it can be an opinion, memoirs, movie commentary, clinical reflective experience, history analysis, poem, or literature review.
A new call for the 5th issue will be announced!
We invite you to write on any topics about a moral or ethical dilemma. For example, public policy, global health, intervention, volunteering experience, commentary on emerging technologies, and current news.
