CIS 380 - Issues in Medicine


Instructor
Putnam

This course has two main components. 1) In the classroom, students examine the four principles of medical ethics: patient autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Guest ethicists/physicians provide lectures and discussions of issues important to the ethical practice of medicine. Each student makes a class presentation on an ethical topic of his or her choice. 2) In area clinics and hospitals, students observe eight medical practices and write both descriptive and reflective summaries of their activities.
