The Master of Science in Medical Ethics (MSME) offers comprehensive training in bioethics methodology and theory for postdoctoral candidates pursuing careers as academic bioethicists capable of securing and leading funded empirical studies. While numerous U.S. institutions offer master's programs in bioethics, none specifically prepares physician-researchers or scholars for faculty roles focused on empirical bioethics research within academic medical settings. The University of Pennsylvania's MSME program addresses this critical gap in professional education.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants for master’s and doctoral programs must have obtained a bachelor’s degree from an accredited School or University prior to intended matriculation date.
A strong command of the English language is necessary for successful study at Penn. Applicants whose families do not speak English at home, or applicants who have not attended a high school or secondary school where the primary language of instruction is English, are asked to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, administered by the Educational Testing Service. In the event the TOEFL is not readily accessible, Penn will accept results from the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.
