PHR 654: Pharmacy Ethics

This course introduces students to pharmacy ethics as an interdisciplinary subject through critical thinking, writing, and discussing contemporary issues. Trends in professional values and ethical standards can be understood best within the situational context of pharmacy practice. So, in this course after reviewing the major principles of moral ethics in the biomedical field, we will focus on case studies in pharmacy ethics. During every session we will present cases considering a range of sources of moral authority, from professional organizations, health care institutions, patients, families, physicians, and administrators to professional committees and the general public.
