Glenn McGee is an influential American philosopher and bioethicist who founded the American Journal of Bioethics (AJOB). McGee serves as AJOB’s Editor-In-Chief, heading what is considered bioethics’ single most important source of information. McGee has been instrumental in running the company, taking the Journal and website out of the insular university environment and exposing it to the wider general public. The American Journal of Bioethics is America’s most prestigious, most cited, and most highly regarded journal.

As an educator and fully tenured faculty member at New York’s Albany Medical College (affiliated with Union University), Glenn McGee was the creator of the school’s Online Master’s Program in Bioethics, and he maintains oversight and directorship of the unit that conducts all Medical and Graduate Programs in Bioethics at Albany Medical College. Mr. McGee rounds out his duties at the Albany Medical Center by acting as a Professor for sections of the four-year medical ethics course and by serving as a member of the Ethics Committee.

Formerly, with the University of Pennsylvania, Glenn McGee had many teaching and clinical responsibilities spread across several individual schools. Within the University’s Master of Bioethics Program, he was the Founding and Interim Director of Graduate Studies, responsible for initial admissions into the program and supervision of focus groups on the program. He was also a member of the steering committee, taught four semester-long independent studies courses, and co-directed a search for a permanent Graduate Studies Director. Later, Mr. McGee became Course Director for the Ethics in Reproductive Technology and Clinical Ethics courses. Beyond the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Bioethics, Glenn McGee was also active in the School of Arts and Sciences, School of Medicine (graduate and undergraduate), and the School of Nursing (graduate and undergraduate).
