HSC 4250 - Biomedical Ethics


Prerequisite(s): HSC 2400 .
Biomedical Ethics provides instruction on building ethical and moral decision-making foundations for future health care and biomedical professionals. This course explores complex contemporary issues in health care, which include the impact of the pharmaceutical, government, and business influence on health care practice. Students will be introduced to classical and contemporary ethical and moral theories, and the basis for scientific integrity and informed consent. This course emphasizes critical thinking, and students will be challenged by evaluating specific clinical and biomedical case studies and then to make decisions that affect their hypothetical career trajectory, patient care and well-being. The capstone experience in this course will include a personal ethical and experiential analysis of a biomedical topic of the student’s choice. Credit(s): 3
