Rosa Lynn Pinkus, a historian,
received both her M.A. (1973) and Ph.D.(1975) from
the State University of New York at Buffalo.
In 1978 she completed a fellowship in the Medical Humanities at Penn State
Hershey and joined the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine in 1980. By 1986, her frontline clinical work in neurosurgery
earned her an Associate Professorship in that department. She is currently
Professor of Medicine/Neurosurgery. Since 1990 she has been Associate
Director of the Center for Bioethics and Health Law and Director of the
Consortium Ethics Program. She has extensive experience as an ethics
consultant and has taught applied ethics for over twenty years in both the
medical school and most recently, the School
of Engineering.
Rosa Lynn is lead author of the book Engineering
Ethics: Balancing Cost, Schedule, and Risk-Lessons Learned from the Space
Shuttle (Cambridge University Press, 1997) and co-author, with Mark
Kuczewski, of An
Ethics Casebook for Hospitals: Practical Approaches to Everyday Cases (Georgetown
University Press, 1999). Her current research, funded by the NSF-LIS
Program, is an interdisciplinary study to understand how bioengineering
students learn ethics by using a case-based approach and how a computer
model of this reasoning process can aid future teaching.
