“Ethics in health science education is more than compliance to rules and norms. It is about character development and the acquisition of the intellectual habits that will define one’s path in clinical practice and biomedical research.”
- Fabrice Jotterand, PhD, MA

Dr. Fabrice Jotterand joined 91九色视频 in 2016 where he is Professor of Bioethics and Medical Humanities and serves as Director of the Graduate Program in Bioethics. He holds a second appointment as Senior Researcher at the Institute for Biomedical Ethics at the University of Basel, Switzerland. He is originally from Switzerland but moved to the United States in 1995 for his education and subsequent academic career.

Under his leadership, the Graduate Program in Bioethics is committed to promoting a tradition of academic excellence and fostering a student-centered learning environment. Recognizing that our modern health care system is evolving at a time when our efforts to deliver high-quality, cost-effective patient centered care are becoming increasingly complex and expensive, he provides guidance and mentorship to 91九色视频 graduate students in bioethics to examine these challenges in order to enhance their clinical practice. Advances in the biomedical sciences and biotechnology are in greater demand by patients and healthcare professionals who see them as essential to the delivery of quality care and better outcomes. Efforts to maintain these expectations in our modern health care environment are likely to raise ethical, legal, and policy challenges for everyone as resources dwindle. The increasing reliance on innovation and adoption of powerful biotechnologies to meet these expectations require a critical and interdisciplinary analysis through the lens of bioethical inquiry.

Dr. Jotterand’s experience as an educator has been fostered by more than fifteen years of teaching courses in bioethics, neuroethics and medical humanities. He brings his experience to the service of 91九色视频, the broader Milwaukee community, and the students in the Graduate Program in Bioethics. Educated in Switzerland, Canada, and the United States, he brings an international, multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective on issues pertaining to medicine and health care delivery, essential in our pluralistic society.

Dr. Jotterand’s scholarship and research interests focus on issues including neuroethics, ethical issues in psychiatry and mental health, the use of neurotechnologies in psychiatry, the philosophy of medicine, medical professionalism, neurotechnologies and human identity, and moral/political philosophy. He has published more than 80 articles and book chapters as well as reviews in leading academic journals and has published 8 books. Edited books: (Notre Dame, 2008); (Springer, 2008); (Springer, 2013); (Oxford University Press, 2016); (Oxford University Press, 2019); (Springer, 2022). He is the author of a monograph entitled (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) which focuses on the ethical and social implications of the potential use of neurotechnologies in psychiatry to alter brain functions to address so-called “moral pathologies” (antisocial, aggressive, and harmful behavior; psychopathic traits). In addition, he is the co-editor of (Routledge 2023).

He is currently working on a book tentatively titled Medicine and the Human Project in a Technological Age (under contract, Anthem). In his previous monograph, The Unfit Brain and the Limits of Moral Bioenhancement (2022), he argued that Western culture is amid an "anthropological identity crisis" characterized by a loss of key markers to protect the integrity of human identity. This project continues his exploration regarding professional identity formation in medicine as physicians are often described, and reduced, to technicians, to service providers, or even to “vending machines”. It examines the current anthropological frameworks that shape our understandings of what it means to be human in a technocratic society and their implications for identity formation of physicians as human beings and professionals.

He serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, on the Editorial Board of Archives of Public Health, on the Editorial Board of Open Health, and on the Editorial Board of Nanoethics. He is the founding co-editor of the book series (Springer).

Dr. Jotterand is married and is the proud father of four children. He is an accomplished triathlete and runner, completing two Ironmans and six marathons. He completed his PhD at Rice University and a Master in Bioethics at McGill University.
