The Institute of History and Ethics in Medicine

Innovative research and teaching

The Institute for the History and Ethics of Medicine is divided into three main research areas: Medical and Neuroethics, History of Medicine. In addition, clinical ethics offers case consultations in everyday clinical practice. The heart of the Institute is the team of international scientists who offer innovative teaching at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (LMU).

Research

Although the Institute of History and Ethics in Medicine (IHEM) has been undergoing a realignment since 2018, it has already been able to establish a place among the most research-intensive institutes in this subject area in the German-speaking world.

Teaching

The IHEM teaches predominantly in the study program of human medicine at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). With lectures, seminars, workshops and other events, the IHEM would like to contribute to an even stronger integration of medical ethics into medical education.

Clinical Ethics

Within the framework of clinical ethics, the Institute offers applied ethics in everyday clinical practice. Here, the Clinical Ethics Committee (KEK) aims to promote and support a competent approach to ethical challenges in patient care and clinical work.
