Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Clinical Rounds offer the students the opportunity of acquiring basic knowledge of ethical and legal Problems in the context of difficult situations of medical decision making and health care. Invited specialist are met in their clinical context or invited to the seminar and provide their insight. This year's course is dedicated to ethical topics at the beginning of life, e.g. the medical care of premature babies, dealing with reproductive technologies, dealing with dying, etc.

Assessment and permitted materials

Every participant does a short exercice (on moodle) in preparation of each seminar unit. Exempt from these exercises are those students who write a BA thesis in the framework of the seminar. In addition, every student is assigned a thematic group that prepares for one seminar unit more extensively. Every participant needs to prepare a personal reflectin for the last seminar unit and upload it on moodle. Regular attendance is required (absence must be excused by e-mail; absence from more than one double unit must be compensated by substitute performance).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Participation in discussion, submission of 6 reflections of 1-2 pages, personal reflection.

Examination topics

Participation (reading, preparation of questions for discussion) (20%), written reflections (in case of BA thesis: mark of BA thesis) (60%), written personal reflection (1-2 pages) (20%).
