Health Law & Bioethics Certification

The Health Law & Bioethics Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests health law and bioethics — the four principles of biomedical ethics, informed consent and decision-making capacity, confidentiality and HIPAA, EMTALA and access to emergency care, fraud and abuse laws including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law and False Claims Act, research ethics under the Belmont Report, Common Rule and Declaration of Helsinki, FDA drug and device regulation, end-of-life decision making, and the ethics of AI, genomics and resource allocation — written to HHS, CMS, OIG, FDA, WMA and AMA sources for 2026 and 2027. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Health Law & Bioethics certificate (SOA-HLB). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Code of Medical Ethics (American Medical Association), Fraud and abuse laws (Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, False Claims Act) (HHS Office of Inspector General), Health information privacy (HIPAA) (US Department of Health and Human Services) — and each answer is explained with its source.
