The Albert Gnaegi Center for Health Care Ethics (CHCE) is an independent academic unit that reports to the Vice President for Health Sciences at Saint Louis University. CHCE is committed to excellence in teaching, service, and research in health care ethics.

Teaching.

We offer a PhD in Health Care Ethics to prepare individuals for careers in academic, corporate, research and clinical bioethics settings.

Our department also offers a Certificate in Clinical Health Care Ethics, which is designed for hospital ethics committee members and others interested in clinical bioethics. Departmental faculty also teach the ethics component in most professional degree programs at Saint Louis University.

Service.

Our faculty serve on university and local institutional review boards and ethics committees. Many faculty serve in government-sponsored programs: NIH scientific review committees, data safety monitoring boards, and expert panels (Institute of Medicine, NASA, and Office of Research Integrity). They also provide clinical consultations by arrangement. Health Care Ethics faculty serve as the Editors-in-Chief of the Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics and serve on the editorial boards of many other journals.

Research.

Our faculty and PhD students regularly publish in health care and bioethics. Faculty have held grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Office of Research Integrity, and several foundations, including the Mayday foundation.
