D M E J

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. By examining the ethical side of healthcare, we hope to educate individuals about the 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. This journal has covered a range of topics, including health and identity, the challenges of COVID, and patient power. We look forward to continuing to promote discourse about medical ethics on Duke’s campus and beyond!
