Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Ethical dilemmas are a common and challenging aspect of clinical practice, requiring healthcare professionals to navigate complex situations while upholding bioethics principles. This course equips healthcare professionals with the tools and knowledge to effectively address these dilemmas. Through this training, you will learn how key moral principles, such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, apply to ethical dilemmas. You will also review the steps to take to resolve dilemmas in the real world. This course also explores how to assess decision-making capacity, discusses the impact of moral distress on healthcare professionals, and reviews ethical challenges related to medical aid in dying, organ transplantation, and genetic testing. By the end of this course, you will be prepared to make informed, ethical decisions that align with professional standards and patient-centered care.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Classify issues in bioethics according to ethical principles.
  • Identify the elements of determining decision-making capacity and how to support patients who lack decision-making capacity.
  • Recall the effects of moral distress in the healthcare setting.
  • Apply knowledge of ethical dilemmas to common bioethical issues, such as medical assistance in dying, organ transplantation, and genetic testing.
