Description:

The concept of social justice relates to the appropriate distribution of resources. Often, however, what constitutes just distribution of health care resources is assumed. There are a variety of foundational theories of social justice, each of which may imply a distinct distribution of health care resources. This course will introduce learners to the foundational theories of social justice in health care and evaluate the different implications they have for how society arranges health care resources.
