Certificate worth it?Rating: (votes: 0) Thanks for any advice!! This is just my opinion, but I wouldn't think additional education in bioethics would be appealing to an employer unless you were applying for a position that specifically involved bioethics (like, serving on a hospital bioethics committee). I think you would get a lot more "bang for your buck" (and your time) doing additional education that is related to a clinical specialty (your current specialty or one you would like to move into).If you want to do it for your own satisfaction and growth, that's a different matter. But I wouldn't expect it to provide much benefit employment-wise. Comment: I agree with elkpark. Employers put the most value on education that relates to the specific job you are in and/or applying for. So, unless you are working in a job that requires bioethics expertise, it won't help much. For example, if you were a member of your employer's Research Committee, Institutional Review Board, or some other team that provided consultation or support on bioethical issues ... then such a certificate would be very relevant and could enhance your ability to contribute to that work.
