Program Leadership

Content

As the challenges facing science and healthcare continue to grow, we have an opportunity to apply our research and expertise to help advocate for responsible and ethically sound policy. To this end, Leon Jaworski, professor of Biomedical Ethics and Amy McGuire, J.D., Ph.D., director of the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy, has been tasked with coordinating a Baylor-wide Health Policy Program. Dr. McGuire has assembled an impressive team of Baylor faculty (Center Faculty, Health Policy Scholars, and many of our Affiliated Faculty) who are developing new education and research initiatives in health policy. Program leaders are also working to consolidate and better communicate the excellent policy work that already takes place College-wide. Learn more about our research.
