This course, Ethics in an Era of Rapid Change, is designed to provide medical professionals with a comprehensive exploration of contemporary ethical dilemmas in clinical practice, research, and healthcare policy. Through a series of expert-led discussions and case-based analyses, participants will engage with critical topics such as vaccine hesitancy, artificial intelligence in medicine, disclosure of medical errors, defensive medicine, and the evolving landscape of reproductive and palliative care.
