Course description
How is trust in the health sciences sustained? Health professionals make high-stakes decisions which affect the lives of others. What values must be taken into account when these decisions are made? How can professionals take responsibility for these decisions? In this interdisciplinary course we engage in practical discussions of the development of a professional ethos, the notion of human flourishing, and the legal framework in which medical professionals operate, including important recent law changes.
