Clinical Ethics Fellow
Stanford
Stanford, California
Jenny Clark Schiff, PhD, MA, MA is the Clinical Ethics Fellow at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. She has research interests in reproductive ethics, disability ethics, and bioethical issues in sport. Dr. Schiff completed her PhD in Philosophy at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York in 2024. Her dissertation focused on poorly understood medical conditions that are, in large part, “invisible” but can be profoundly disabling to patients (e.g. myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome, Long COVID, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). She is interested in how to improve the doctor-patient relationship in settings of uncertainty, and how to better design healthcare systems and medical education to care for patients with poorly understood medical conditions in a more just and humane manner. While pursuing her PhD, she was an Ethics Fellow, and then a Senior Ethics Fellow, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. In 2014, Dr. Schiff was awarded a Fulbright research grant to study philosophy and education in Italy.
Dr. Schiff was a four-year member of the Varsity Women’s Lacrosse team as an undergraduate at Columbia and served as Co-Captain her senior year. She is a cellist in the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and enjoys following international women’s soccer.
