Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Physicians experience new challenges: In some medical fields, patients ask for treatment that is not indicated for medical reasons. This Seminar inquires into this kind of "medicine on demand". After an introduction into Ethics and Law in Medicine a more detailed discussion of ethical and legal questions concerning this kind of medicine follows, covering PID, IVF, cesarean Section, cosmetic sugery and demands at the end of life. Excursions to related medical institutions or presentations of practical cases by physicians are an integral part of the seminar.
