Harvard University (2010-2011 Course Catalog)
1. Bioethics.
Description. Bioethics is the study of ethical issues arising in efforts to maintain and restore health, and, more broadly, with charting humankind's future in an era of both technological advances and unmet need. We will try to reason our way through moral dilemmas that pit health against freedom, prevention against rescue, and the claims of those with competing needs when life itself hangs in the balance. The course will emphasize ethical issues involving health that arise at the global and population levels, particularly those involving peoples and regions with the greatest burden of disease.
2. Elective Clerkship in Medical Anthropology.
Description. This one month elective provides an opportunity for guided reading and research with faculty members of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine. The course includes seminars in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine and the Department of Anthropology. The course allows students to apply theoretical frameworks from medical anthropology to understanding the relationships of culture, illness, and healing, the social roots of health and disease, and their implications for the practice of medicine. The clerk chooses the area of focus in consultation with the course director. Possible areas of focus include: global health, infectious disease, health inequalities, history of medicine and disease, bioethics, culture and psychiatry, violence, substance use, chronic pain, or end of life care. Clerks are expected to write a review article with an annotated bibliography over the course of the month.
3. Fundamental Methods of Clinical Trials.
