BIET 6300 Theories of Bioethics and Health Care
This course introduces students to the ethical dimensions of health care practice and the broader methodological frameworks for evaluating bioethical issues. Health professionals are faced with ethical decisions resulting from technological advances, health inequities, economic constraints, and broader social justice issues. Students will be introduced to theoretical approaches to bioethics such as normative reasoning, casuistry, principlism, and narrative reasoning, and apply them to end-of-life care, genetic research and treatment, resource allocation, reproductive care, mental health, and organ procurement and transplantations. Students will learn to integrate bioethical knowledge into patient care, administrative decisions, and health policy.
