Medical Ethics

About this programme

The course provides an introduction to some of the most important issues in medical ethics – questions concerning decisions about life and death, the use of new technology, the obligations we have regarding the fair distribution of healthcare resources, the protection of vulnerable groups, and the promotion of public health.
