MDHM 401 - Clinical Ethics

3 credits
A study of the application of biomedical principles in the clinical arena, situations that require assessment of competing principles, and the process of resolution when differences in ethical judgments make consensus difficult. Among the topics to be considered are: the bioethics committee; end-of-life decisions, including Do Not Resuscitate Orders and Advance Directives; confidentiality, communication issues; just distribution of scarce resources and clinical decision-making within cost constraints.
