Organizational Ethics
Next On-Campus Graduate Seminar:
Organizational Ethics I: Business, Professionalism and Justice
(BEHP 412- Special Topics),
June 24-25, 2010
Course Instructor: Mark Kuczewski, PhD

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course examines ethical issues in health care from the vantage point of decision makers who shape the system, e.g., physicians within a group practice, administrators within a health system, or advocates within a community. In particular, issues of balancing fidelity to the mission of a health-care organization with limitations emanating from its operating or profit margin will be considered in detail. The social and economic context of health care in the United States will be overviewed as the background for considering the responsibilities social justice entails to self, one's profession, the various institutions of which a healthcare profession is a member, one's patients, and the underserved. The course is a month-long hybrid of online learning and a three-day intensive experience on the campus of Loyola University Medical Center (Maywood, IL)(3 credits, course prerequisites: none)
