Medical and Clinical Ethics Module Now Available

Medicine has a long history of defining standards of ethical conduct. In this module, Dr. Tim Murphy asks you to review some of the established ethical precepts that guide the practise of medicine: autonomy, beneficence, and social justice. These precepts are tools that help physicians analyze clinical problems and come to decisions that are ethically defensible in light of legal standards as well.

Dr. Murphy is a bioethicist who works primarily in the areas of genetics, assisted reproductive technologies, sexuality and medicine, and research ethics. He has taught and lectured widely in these areas and published widely in such journals as the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, Bioethics, and the Hastings Center Report. He is the author or editor of eight books, including Gay Science: The Ethics of Sexual Orientation Research (Columbia University Press) and Ethics in an Epidemic: AIDS, Morality, and Culture (University of California Press) His most recent book is Case Studies in Biomedical Research Ethics which is forthcoming from MIT Press. At the present time, he is initiating an ambitious project to produce the first textbook of ethics and law useful to practicing physicians and medical students: Ethics and Law in Medicine.
