Ethical Decision-Making in Healthcare
Hours: 1.00
Bioethical decision-making can become a daunting reality in your healthcare practice. Healthcare practitioners must be knowledgeable about and able to apply practical moral and ethical principles when confronted with a challenging healthcare dilemma. Basic models of bioethical approaches exist, yet many health professions typically lack an in-depth study as part of their primary curriculums. Therefore, healthcare practitioners may not know about ethical models and how they can be used to resolve bioethical dilemmas systematically. This course covers the four principles of bioethics and models that you can use as tools when making difficult ethical decisions.
