Members of the medical professions are repeatedly faced by ethical dilemmas in the course of their normal working lives. For instance, is it right or wrong to facilitate the death of someone experiencing irremediable pain in the late stages of terminal illness? How should scarce resources of time, money and skill be apportioned by medical practitioners and medical administrators between the diversity of medical needs that present themselves daily? What are the rights and wrongs of being economical with the truth when telling patients about their medical condition? How much should the doctors view of what should be done and not done to benefit a patient over-ride the patients view?
All too often, issues such as these have been confronted somewhat tangentially and briefly during the initial training of medical, nursing and allied professionals, and tackled subsequently with uneasy pragmatism by practitioners. In particular, reasoned argument was not encouraged in many traditional courses.
Course Aims
This course, which started in 1983, has been designed to provide medical, nursing and allied professionals - whether as teachers of emerging professionals, or practising professionals at different stages in their career - with an extended and intensive opportunity to review and update their approach to the analysis of key medico-moral issues, with the help of leading authorities in the field of medical ethics.
It is also designed to be helpful to members of ethics committees, whether or not they are health professionals, and to others professionally involved with the ethical issues of health care.
Specifically, the course will:
* Clarify the meaning and significance of key ethical concepts.
* Outline important types of ethical theory, and their relevance to medical ethics.
* Offer a conceptual framework useful for ethical analysis of medico-moral problems in a variety of professional contexts.
* Give opportunities to participants - under supportive conditions - to articulate their current medico- moral attitudes, and explore reasoned arguments that challenge their existing assumptions and ethical stances.
