In this course, you will learn to identify and use major ethical theories; central moral principles of bioethics; and approaches to ethical problem-solving and decision-making. This background knowledge will be put to use in the analyses of ethical problems in the healthcare field. In the beginning, we will concentrate on the details of prominent ethical theories as well as get acquainted with the principles of bioethics. In addition, much of the course will focus specifically on the ethical issues particular to clinical healthcare. To aid us in doing this, we will use some videos, case analyses, and some medical narratives to give voice to the patients perspective. Throughout the semester we will review and analyze cases to develop skills in reasoning about ethical issues that inevitably occur in the clinical setting. Not open to first-year students. [AH, SJ]
