Genetics Bioethics

2.0 credits

This course provides students with a historical, theoretical, and practical approach to biomedical ethics as it relates to the field of human genetics. Sessions will be part didactic and mostly seminar discussion-based, using case examples and problem solving. Students will be encouraged to explore all sides of the bioethics challenges in genetics so as to develop fluency in their ability to recognize and discuss issues as they arise in clinical practice and research settings, with a solid theoretical background for their considerations and practice.
