The Hastings Center
Mildred Z. Solomon, EdD, is president and chief executive officer of The Hastings Center, a renowned bioethics institute that focuses on ethical issues in medicine, health care, life sciences research, and the environment. The Hastings Center publishes two journals in the field of bioethics, has nine scholars on its staff doing normative and empirical research, maintains an active visiting scholars program that brings scores of scholars from around the world each year to the Center’s campus in Garrison, NY, and collaborates with a worldwide network of nearly 200 Hastings Center fellows, distinguished scholars who have made extraordinary contributions to areas central to the Center’s mission. In addition to her role at The Hastings Center, Dr. Solomon is a clinical professor of anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School, where she directs the school’s fellowship in medical ethics, a program aimed at building the bioethics capacity of Harvard-affiliated hospitals. Prior to her leadership of The Hastings Center, she was senior director for implementation science at the Association of American Medical Colleges, where she was responsible for encouraging the development of comparative effectiveness research and implementation science within the nation’s teaching hospitals and medical schools.
