This panel of core faculty members in the Columbia University Masters of Bioethics Program will provide an overview of key bioethics principles, concepts, and approaches to problems crucial for premedical students.
This presentation can be extremely helpful for students who will be participating in multiple mini-interviews as part of medical school interviews and for those working as medical students and as physicians. Increasingly, health care trainees and providers confront a wide range of dilemmas in making decisions – including when to start or terminate various treatments at the end-of-life, what genetic tests to order for patients, whether to screen embryos for certain mutations or traits, and what to say to parents who don’t want to vaccinate their children. The panelists will explore with attendees ways to think about and address these bioethics dilemmas.
