Dr. Tina Nguyen is a bioethicist and an aspiring clinical ethicist. She holds a PhD in Healthcare Ethics from the Center for Global Health Ethics at Duquesne University. Prior to starting her Clinical Ethics Fellowship at UTMB, Tina was an Adjunct Faculty at the McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts at Duquesne University as well as a (virtual) clinical ethics intern at the Jewish Association on Aging (JAA) and Bon Secours.
Tina's research interests are primarily in the ethical governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Her other research interests include demystifying palliative and hospice care. Her thesis, "The Contribution of Ethical Governance of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning in Healthcare", explored the justification for ethical governance of these technologies as it leads to ethical usage of AI/ML and why it should be practiced over the more common approach of AI governance.
Tina is looking forward to her duties as a clinical ethics fellow, continuing to engage in her research interests, and teaching ethics in an accessible manner.
