Course Description:The lecture
and recitation course "Ethics in Health Sciences" introduces students to ethical dimensions and challenges of public health research and
practice. Students learn about the conceptual foundations and methods of public
health ethics. They practise the identification and structured processing of
ethical problems in the context of public health using the approach of
principle-based decision-making. Students
will also learn to know specific ethical issues that are of particular
relevance to their field of study, such as normative assumptions of approaches
to quantifying health, the ethical relevance of concepts of health and disease,
theories of health justice and intertwined ethical and epistemic issues of
nutrition research and policy-making.
Research ethics is another major topic of the course which encompasses both historical and theoretical knowledge as well as practical
guidance to writing an ethics proposal for public health research.
