HESY-191 Healthcare Managerial Ethics
Fall only
This course explores the moral and social responsiblity of healthcare managers. It is based on the assumption of the importance to healthcare management of a balance of values, knowledge, and skills. Through reading, reflection, and discussion of the purpose of healthcare, and the role of management, students will be able to set and meet standaras of personal and organizational responsibility. This course will examine the context in which our healthcare system operates and the moral culture on which it depends. Although students will learn ethical theory, and rigorous thinking and argument are required, the emphasis is on practical reasoning in real work situations with a view to preparing managers to establish the organization's moral culture and to act with integrity in the complex healthcare environment.
