Intensive Bioethics Course at The Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University
The IBC is designed to address the most challenging topics in health care ethics. It provides the opportunity for participants from different disciplines to come together to explore the theoretical framework and practical issues of bioethics with a distinguished faculty. Lectures and panel discussions are paired with small group discussions, allowing in-depth exploration of issues and personal interactions. The course is truly intensive, with much of the intellectual interchange taking place over shared meals and in supplemental education opportunity discussions. Click for Flyer or Click for Brochure
This course is designed for members of ethics committees and others interested in ethical aspects of clinical practice, including ethicists, physicians, nurses, chaplains, social workers, health care administrators, respiratory and other therapists, patients’ rights officers and representatives, psychologists, risk managers, moral philosophers, hospital attorneys and trustees. The combination of lectures, case discussions and panels cover core information about ethical theories, principles, and methods, key bioethics cases from US courts, evolving standards for ethics consultation, and areas of clinical ethical controversy and consensus. Faculty for the course are drawn from the Division of Medical Ethics at HMS and from the Harvard-affiliated hospitals and institutions who are experts published in the specialty areas in which they teach, including bioethics, moral philosophy, medicine and health care.
