Course Title:
|
Ethics in Public Health |
| Format: | Satellite |
| Cost (US $): | none |
| Credit Types Offered: |
1 hour of CHES |
| Course Description: | Dr. Lawrence Gostin, Professor and Director, Center for Law and the Public's Health at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins Universities with talk about the many dilemmas public health professionals have to deal due to their varied, and sometimes conflicting, roles as government officials, health professionals, and advocates for human health and justice. This presentation will discuss the challenges and dilemmas faced by public health professionals in two realms: public health and ethics. Ethics in public health is concerned not so much with the character of professionals as with the ethical dimensions of the public health enterprise itself. Here, we think about decision making in creating and implementing public health policy. This kind of "applied" ethics is situation or case oriented, seeking to understand morally appropriate decisions in concrete cases. It requires thought about the potential conflicts between civil liberties and property rights on the one hand and prevention and emergency preparedness on the other. |
