Description:

A theoretical understanding of ethical principles relating to health care is essential for all physicians. However, the application of these principles to actual situations of ethical conflict requires a different type of educational experience. In this course, the students will work closely with WMed clinical ethicists as they conduct ethics consultations, engage in ethical research and analysis, meet with patients and teams, and work with hospital ethics committees.
