Students in this course will critically examine ethical questions at the heart of the contemporary healthcare industry. What are the unique ethical obligations of healthcare organizations to patients, providers, and society? How can ethics and pragmatism in healthcare co-exist? Contemporary program-specific topics, such as the ethics of privacy, ethical resource allocation and access to care, and paternalism in healthcare, will also be scrutinized. With cases and empirical research as a backdrop, this highly interactive seminar will help students develop the skills, dispositions, and frameworks required of an effective leader in health fields.
