Syllabus Exchange Database

Since 1986, the National Reference Center for Bioethics Literature (NRCBL) Syllabus Exchange Database has functioned as a clearinghouse for bioethics syllabi to promote the study of bioethics as a discipline. The collection consists of over 600 syllabi in 3 languages from 12 countries. While the standard syllabus documents a semester-length class, seminars and continuing education courses are included as well. The collection contains courses from high school through graduate education. The NRCBL continues to add bioethics syllabi in all languages to the Syllabus Exchange Database. Syllabi submissions can be for current or former course offerings. Please send submissions to: bioethics@georgetown.edu

All syllabi in the collection have been digitized except for those with copyright restrictions. The highlighted course title in the search results provides a link to the full text.

Links to additional resources for curriculum development can be found in the Teaching Resources sections of Scope Note 38: Bioethics Resources on the Web, and Scope Note 16: Teaching Ethics in the Health Care Setting.
