The purpose of the Advanced Certificate Program is to provide a knowledge base and a skill set in research ethics and international bioethics that will allow students to function as independent research ethicists in their home countries. It will also prepare students to facilitate institutional change with regard to ethical practices in international health research. These courses were developed by, and are taught by, teams of American and European experts and are designed for Central and Eastern European students. The certificate courses are offered via distance learning, on-line, through the Union Graduate College Bioethics Program in partnership with the Department of Medical History and Ethics of Vilnius University. Short seminars are offered on site at Vilnius University. Except for these seminars, the Program design permits students to complete the certificate (or Masters Degree) without leaving their homes or jobs.
