Welcome to the web site of the Department of Clinical Sciences, Division of Ethics and Health Policy. Our program is dedicated to advancing research, education, and clinical service relevant to ethical issues in science and medicine. Specific goals of the program are to:

• Gather, distribute, and publicize bioethics-related research and educational activities at UT Southwestern.
• Act as catalyst to bring together individuals interested in bioethics-related activities and develop new initiatives.
• Coordinate teaching activities such as ethics grand rounds and responsible conduct of research.
• Develop and promote bioethics educational activities in conjunction with other institutions in the North Texas region.

The DEAHP web site has been developed to provide information on ethics-related issues at UT Southwestern and to generate interest in and educational discourse about such issues as they arise more generally in the practice of science and medicine. The site serves only as a resource and clearinghouse for ethics-related topics. No endorsements of any kind are intended.
