BIOE 6400 Clinical Bioethics

3 semester hours

This class focuses on “clinical” bioethics, that is, the ethics of decision making at the bedside, exposing students to the practical mechanisms presiding over such decisions in today’s health care facilities, such as ethics committees, clinical consultations, clinical rounds, etc. In addition to being introduced to some methods and content of clinical bioethics, this class offers students a first exposure to the institutional mechanism mentioned above, together with the opportunity to interact with those who do bioethics in a clinical setting.
