The theoretical knowledge gained during lectures and seminars is further utilized and developed in subsequent seminars when attempting to resolve certain highly debatable or problematic cases and is further reflected upon with the help of teachers. This involves analyzing case studies from the perspective of medical indications, patient preferences, quality of life, and contextual characteristics. Another part of the clinical ethics seminars is devoted to the specific issue of allocating scarce resources in times of shortage (pandemics, etc.). The aim is to develop critical thinking and an approach to patient problems. Case studies from abroad are supplemented by case studies from the Czech environment with analysis and commentary. Students learn to navigate case studies and the four-level approach to clinical ethics. They learn to identify key issues, analyze them, and attempt to solve problems with a necessary understanding of the whole and a deeper understanding of the issue. The basic goal of the seminars is to increase students' moral competence and their ability to identify moral problems and subsequently find the right solutions in morally controversial cases.
