Kurzbeschreibung: A pioneer in bioethics education, the Kennedy Institute offers bioethics courses designed to address the most challenging topics in health care ethics. These courses provide the opportunity for participants from different fields and disciplines to come together for a few days to explore the theoretical framework and practical issues of bioethics with a distinguished faculty. In a unique structure, lectures and panel discussions are paired with small group discussions, allowing detailed exploration of issues and personal interaction with faculty and other course participants. The course is truly intensive; with much of the intellectual interchange taking place over shared meals and in extra discussions organized around participants' interests.

Specific aims and objectives for the course are to introduce participants to the philosophical underpinnings of bioethics and current major topics in the field, and to provide them with the skills to define and describe various principles and approaches to bioethics in medical practice, law and public policy. Participants will understand and be able to demonstrate bioethical principles within a solid framework of decisionmaking in clinical, research and policy settings.
