Public health ethics education varies widely across schools and programs. The American College of Epidemiology has long supported the collection and sharing of ethics syllabi, perhaps as a precursor to the development of a model curriculum to promote greater consistency in ethics education and competency assessment.

This initiative was launched in 2011 by Kenneth W. Goodman, Professor Emeritus and former Director of the Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and Chair of the ACE Ethics Committee. Over time, the project expanded to an open‑access, online repository hosted by the College. The evolution of this repository and its scholarly context is documented here:

Hlaing WM, Saddemi JL, Goodman KW. Expanding ethics curriculum resources: American College of Epidemiology's syllabus collection project. Ann Epidemiol. 2019 Oct;38:1-3. doi: 10.1016/j.annepidem.2019.08.009. Epub 2019 Aug 22. PMID: 31543226. 

Hlaing WM, Kushch NA, Wells AE, Goodman KW. Common topics discerned in ethics in epidemiology and public health syllabi: in-depth review. Ann Epidemiol. 2021 Aug;60:31-34. doi: 10.1016/j.annepidem.2021.04.014. Epub 2021 Apr 29. PMID: 33932571. 

If you find this repository useful, please consider contributing your own syllabus (e.g., Ethics in Epidemiology or Ethics in Public Health) to the collection. Syllabi should be submitted to [designated contact person] for coordination and posting on the ACE website. Submission of a syllabus constitutes permission for it to be shared publicly through the ACE repository.
