Kurzbeschreibung: The Kennedy Institute offers this course designed to address the most challenging topics in health care ethics. It provides 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.

Special topics such as "Ethics Committes", "Teaching Biothics", "Ethics of Care", "Careers in Bioethics", "NBAC", and "Feminist Bioethics" will be offered in small forum sessions.

Specific aims for the course are to introduce participants to the philosphical underpinnings of bioethics and current major topics in the field, and to provide them with skills to define and describe various principles and approaches to bioethics. These principles can then be applied to an enhanced understanding of 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.
