Course Overview

Reflect upon and integrate course concepts

This course exposed students to the ethical theories and principles in practice in the field of health care and set out to assist students in resolving ethical dilemmas by applying the theories and principles in practice. Together we were able to resolve dilemmas involving patient privacy and confidentiality, informed consent, assisted reproduction and organ transplantation. Through this experience students may now apply a step by step process for resolving dilemmas.

It is also important to step back and reflect on new levels of understanding, skills, and knowledge that you developed as a result of your efforts throughout this course.
