| On-Site Components The Bioethics Program requires three on-site seminars of all masters degree candidates: the proseminar, an on-site practicum, and capstone. The Proseminar (Union Campus) An 80-hour two-week summer Proseminar in Health & Human Values is designed as an orientation to bioethics and to “being a student once more.” The Proseminar is held on the Union College/Union Graduate College campus, typically in the first two weeks of August. Faculty are from Mount Sinai and Union and other major medical ethics and bioethics programs. In addition to lectures, the program involves extensive tours to clinical and research sites. One of these sites is the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City (a 3-hour bus ride) where students spend the day with bioethicists, members of the hospital ethics committee and the institutional review board. - www.union.edu-Campus > - www.union.edu-map > The On-Site Practicum (Mount Sinai Campus) A 40-hour one-week intensive clinical experience held at Mount Sinai School of Medicine under the direction of Professor Rosamond Rhodes and clinical faculty at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Students will be trained in the skills essential to competent clinical ethics consultation and mediation or for serving on a research ethics committee (IRB/REC). Students also practice their competencies in clinical ethics and research ethics through interactions with trained actors (“standardized patients”) in standardized research and clinical ethics scenarios at Mount Sinai’s Morchand Center for Clinical Competence - www.mssm.edu-morchand > The On-Site Capstone (Union Campus) a one-week 40 hour course, typically held in the second week of June on a the Union Campus with a one-day at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the Morchand Center. Each student is also given a one-on-one “future plans” session with a faculty member before participating in graduation exercises in the historic setting of the Union campus - www.union.edu-Webcam > Transportation and Lodging: New York City New York is a major transportation hub that can be reached by plane, train, ship, bus or automobile. Students have innumerable choices in accommodation but a list of residential options will be provided to assist them in finding lodging.
