Expanded Course Description
Clinical ethics has emerged over the past few decades as a subfield of bioethics with the specific goal of addressing ethical questions that emerge directly in a hospital setting. While its more theoretical cousin, medical ethics, has always focused on finding ways to define a series of principles that should guide patient-doctor relations (autonomy, informed consent, etc.) or help us think through life and death situations (abortion, assisted suicide, etc.), clinical ethics is distinguished by strongly emphasizing clinical cases and their educational value for medical staff (future or present students, residents, physicians). The core focus of this course will be a selection of clinical issues that will enable students to both engage with ethical dilemmas in a hospital setting and also to experience how healthcare professionals deal with such challenges in their daily activities.
