History & Mission
The Duke Medical Ethics Journal (DMEJ) was created in 2019 by a team of students who recognized the importance, and lack, of ethics education in their pre-medical undergraduate curriculum. Our goal was to change that by sparking conversation on Duke’s campus and beyond so that we might move past the notion that medicine as a field is a black and white science. Science and healthcare are dynamic fields that are continuously improving, posing new ethical challenges that are imperative to consider to ensure no populations are harmed or left out of scientific progress. By examining the ethical side of healthcare, we hope to educate individuals about the numerous concerns to navigate in real-world healthcare settings, promote a more humanistic model of healthcare, and create a platform to share the stories of marginalized voices. We strive to promote discourse about medical ethics on Duke’s campus and beyond!
