Course Description

This course teaches the basic bioethics principles relevant to healthcare ethics. Participants will sharpen their skills and depth of knowledge in clinical ethics, research ethics, ethics at the bedside, and healthcare policy. After a look at the history of bioethics and its theories, tools, and strategies for identifying and resolving ethical dilemmas, students will critically explore issues in contemporary health care. We will look at confidentiality, truth-telling, and cultural-competency, as well as examine health disparities and the social determinants of health in the context of health care. We will also briefly cover research, industry, and policy perspectives.
