[2] Upon graduating,Sugarman attended Duke University for his Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. At Duke,he was chairman of the symposium committee for STEP (Science,Technology,Ethics and Policy) '82 and received the President's Leadership Award. [3] He was also admitted into the Duke University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. [4] He then matriculated in the Duke University School of Medicine.

[5] During his fellowship he also completed an MPH at the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health (1992) and an MA in applied ethics at Georgetown University (1993).
While in medical school,Sugarman noticed there was a linguistic divide between patients and doctors which led to miscommunication and misinformation so he began working with English professor Ronald R. Butters on this subject. [6] They compiled and classified some of these terms into two categories:slang which is familiar to patients and differ by region and malapropism,in which the patient confuses the pronunciation of standard medical terminology. [7] Following medical school he completed an internship in Obstetrics and Gynecology and a residency in Internal Medicine at Duke. Upon completing his fellowship at Johns Hopkins University,Sugarman accepted a position at Duke University's Medical Center. In 1999,he was appointed as founding director of the Duke Center for the Study of Medical Ethics and Humanities. [8] In 2003,Sugarman was recruited by Michael Klag and Ruth Faden to join the faculty at Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. [9] After his appointment at JHU,in 2004 Sugarman was installed in an Endowed Professorship in Bioethics and Medicine position that was supported by Harvey M. Meyerhoff. [10]
In 2008,Sugarman was the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award by the Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research organization for his "contributions to both the field of research ethics and to PRIM&R." [11] He was later elected a Fellow of the Association of American Physicians [12] and the National Academy of Medicine. [13] In 2018,he was awarded Doctor of Science,honoris causa,from New York Medical College.
Bioethics is both a field of study and professional practice,interested in ethical issues related to health,including those emerging from advances in biology,medicine,and technologies. It proposes the discussion about moral discernment in society and it is often related to medical policy and practice,but also to broader questions as environment,well-being and public health. Bioethics is concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences,biotechnology,medicine,politics,law,theology and philosophy. It includes the study of values relating to primary care,other branches of medicine,ethical education in science,animal,and environmental ethics,and public health.
