Ethical Considerations in Healthcare

This course explores ethical considerations encountered throughout the United States' healthcare industry as well as within the broader global environment. Both clinical and non-clinical scenarios will be examined. Students will learn to apply ethical principles, theories and concepts to analyze and draw conclusions for a broad range of ethical dilemmas. Through readings, class discussions and assignments, students will recognize how ethical considerations vary depending on the perspective of the stakeholder or assessor, a critical step in making ethical decisions with no single right answer.
