Dr. Ayesha Ahmed Wins First
Prize: Pioneering Bioethics Education in Pakistan
Our education analyst, Dr.
Ayesha Ahmed, has won the first prize in an Essay Competition as part of the
First Bioethics Conference in Pakistan in February 2024. Her winning piece,
titled "Bioethics Education in Pakistan – What, Why, How," highlighted
the importance of Bioethics Education in Pakistan and the role of Simulation
as an "ethical pedagogy". The essay emphasized that the inclusion
of simulation in healthcare education is a direct application of bioethical
principles to the way new professionals are trained. Thus, bioethics should
not just be a subject in the educational system but an integral part of all
our educational practices. This perspective made the essay unique and secured
the first prize in the competition.
