CBHX 320/520 Health Care Ethics
The course applies ethical theories and principles to contemporary health care
dilemmas. Students learn how ethical principles - such as autonomy, confidentiality,
truth-telling, justice, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and informed consent -
can be used to resolve particular ethical issues and specific cases, such as end
of life, the allocation of health care, privacy, reproductive rights, testing
and screening, biomedical research, and professional conduct. The course emphasizes
critical thinking, case-based analysis, ethical decision-making and problem-solving. Contact Catherine Caldicott at caldicoc@upstate.edu
