The Journal
With many of
the recent advances in biotechnology, advanced medical techniques,
and public health comes a multitude of ethical and philosophical
questions, and a need for policy review. Conceived in the fall of
2000, TuftScope: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Health, Ethics,
& Policy, offers an academic forum for discussion of the
pertinent healthcare and biosocial debates in today's world. Since
our recognition in 2001 as a student journal, Tuftscope has
been publishing an interdisciplinary on journal on health, ethics,
and associated policy. The journal addresses different aspects of
healthcare, bioethics, public health, and active citizenship. It is
edited and operated by students at Tufts University, and is advised
by an Editorial Advisory Board composed of Tufts undergraduates and
faculty. The journal is one of the few peer reviewed undergraduate
published journals in the country.
TuftScope accepts original articles on government health
policy, public and community health, bioethical matters, medical
education, research in the mentioned fields, and other issues
dealing with the science and art of medicine and health or our
country's healthcare system. The principle objective of TuftScope
is to bring together seemingly different viewpoints, citizenship and
the health sciences, to transform thoughts and ideas into active
citizenship and working policies.
