What you'll learn
After completing this course, health professionals will be able to:

Discuss five key court cases that helped define the landscape of the bioethics debate.
Identify a 6-step decision model that may facilitate solving ethical dilemmas in practice.
Course description
As science and medical technology advance, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the field of bioethics, only a few decades ago in the esoteric domain of philosophers, now affects every person, their life’s trajectory, and for health professionals, their career. This course provides an introduction to the foundations of the field of bioethics and their implications for healthcare practice. Ethical theory, pivotal court cases related to medical ethics, and key theorists are discussed in the context of healthcare justice, patient rights, informed consent, advance directives, and refusal of treatment. An ethical decision-making model, as well as other valuable resources, are presented to facilitate the healthcare professional's ability to respectfully and responsibly navigate bioethical dilemmas in clinical practice.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
