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 11 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.

Currently, the print syllabi housed at NRCBL are being digitized, and links to the full text of these syllabi can be accessed by searching the Syllabus Exchange Database. If you find a citation for a syllabus that is not yet in electronic format, please contact us by email, phone, fax, or snail mail so that we can prioritize our digitization efforts according to your needs.

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.
