CLPS-235 : Health Care Ethics

This course introduces students to ethical and to bioethical issues confronting healthcare providers within the practice setting. The course introduces students to how ethical theory and principles work to critically analyze and construct well concerned responses to ethical dilemmas. By utilizing the Beaubeu Grid method to collect and analyze case information students will refine their critical thinking skills (both verbal and written) as they read, write, discuss, and resolve the case material presented in class. Emphasis on collaborative dialogue between and among the disciplines represents the hallmark of this course. Finally, the course will familiarize students with ethical and legal considerations, patient-provider relationships, professionalism, and the concepts of moral reasoning.
