In this course, the instructor will explain the basic principles of healthcare ethics mainly, autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. Once the principles are explained, we can explore healthcare dilemmas that often occur in facilities. We will also discuss contemporary healthcare issues like the recent pandemic and new healthcare technologies. Bring an inquisitive mind and perhaps some questions regarding COVID, end-of-life Issues, making decisions for people who cannot make their own decisions, and new medical technologies.

 

Dominic Glorioso is a practicing hospice physician with certifications in internal medicine and palliative care and is a hospice medical director. He earned a Ph.D. in healthcare ethics this past December from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. His thesis concentrated on making bioethics more accessible to clinicians who deal with ethical dilemmas regularly in hospitals and healthcare facilities. He is writing a book based on this goal that can be used as a guide for physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, and healthcare professionals who deal with ethical problems.
