BIOE 5202 - Classic Cases and Current Controversies in Bioethics

Institution:

Yeshiva University

Subject:

Bioethics

Description:

This is a one-month fourth-year elective offered in March, designed to build upon the medical school's bioethics curriculum during the preclinical and third years, and to better prepare students for the ethics dilemmas they will face as residents. Each week, students read, present and discuss classic cases and papers in bioethics. A separate weekly seminar is devoted to discussing current controversies in bioethics, the details of which will vary and depend on current events when the course is given. Students also participate in the Bioethics Consultation Service and experience first-hand the process of working through difficult decisions. At the conclusion of the elective, students present two projects: a researched paper or lecture on a topic of interest, and a creative work of writing or art relating to bioethics. Evaluation is based on participation during the seminars as well as the quality of the final submissions. Two-four students are accepted per session. To apply, please contact Drs Kitsis or Lipman. Pre-requisites: enrollment in the fourth year of Einstein's MD program. Students who do not meet this criteria could be considered on a case-by-case basis.
