EDF 7235 - Ethical Principles in Healthcare

Hours: 3
This course provides a comprehensive perspective on ethical issues in nursing and healthcare education and clinical practice. It takes a practical approach toward contemporary ethical issues surrounding healthcare professions and emphasizes an interprofessional appreciation of ethical decision-making. Ethical principles, theory and decision-making models will provide the foundation for ethical case analysis and other critical thinking activities. Principles and constructs such as morality, goals of professional practice, professional and organizational values, and socio-cultural contexts of a health care will be defined, and realistic solutions will be discussed with discipline specific emphasis to create an interprofessional culture. Understanding the ethical-legal relationship in areas of greatest risk, minimizing such risk, and gaining the knowledge required to prepare for the circumstances will be discussed.
