Annotation

Last update: MUDr. Mgr. Lukáš Malý (25.01.2023)

The specific problems of contemporary medical ethics are discussed in this course, with special attention to the issues taught in parallel modules of the fourth year. The seminaries are focused on case reports and consequent discussion, where students can prove their ability to think and argue.

Aim of the course

Last update: MUDr. Mgr. Lukáš Malý (25.01.2023)

The students learn about some ethically controversial case reports and in the seminaries try to find acceptable solutions. These solutions are stemming from a theoretical knowledge received in the course of lectures.
