My role has been to help us focus on the basic social ethics commitment
from which public health flows. In the medical student curriculum
I have worked to bring attention to access, cost control, and quality
as professional responsibilities of physicians. Through the course
on Ethics and Epidemiology, I have built questions of social solidarity,
common good, and justice into the MPH curriculum. I bring the Department’s
social ethics focus into the work of the OHSU Center for Ethics
in health care. I emphasize social ethics and public participation
in my scholarly writings. Through my community service activities
I have bring the Department’s vision of prevention and common
good into the state health policy arena.
• I teach in and offer curricular guidance to the Medical
School’s Principles of Clinical Medicine course.
• I consult with our faculty on our curricular work in public
health ethics
• I serve on the Oregon Opportunity Task Force which is charged
to give an annual accounting to the governor and the legislature
on OHSU’s continuing commitment to its comprehensive mission
as it invests energy and resources in developing new biotech research
and commercial biotech product opportunities.
• I serve on the Oregon Medicaid Advisory Committee and the
Advisory Committee on Genetic Privacy and Research.

California, San Francisco. He has published widely in the field of
biomedical ethics with particular focus on ethical issues in the allocation

curricula, ethics in human experimentation, ethical issues in withholding
