About This Podcast

This podcast presents bioethics through personal perspectives. Many of our interviews chronicle personal experiences with medicine, science, law, and the delivery of healthcare. Our thought-provoking content provides insight into those challenging the standard of care and medical exceptionalism, as well as those dedicating their careers to patient care, science, and the study of bioethics. Our goal is to add personal passion to the field while furthering our commitment to critical analysis of medical care, scientific discovery, and healthcare policy.
