PHIL 2310 Health Care Ethics (3,0,0)

Credits: 3 credits
Delivery: Campus

Students examine the ethical role of the health care provider within the Canadian health care system. Students critically assess a selection of ethically problematic situations that routinely challenge health care providers. The topical issues considered in this course include the relationship among health care providers; care of the elderly; genetic counselling; resource allocation; care of those diagnosed mentally ill; and the ethics of transplantation. These issues are explored within the context of moral theory, common ethical principles, and methodologies arising from interdisciplinary bioethics. Note that students cannot receive credit for both PHIL 2310 and PHIL 2311
