Medical Ethics

Medical Ethics is a system of moral principles that apply values and judgments to the practice of medicine. As a scholarly discipline, medical ethics encompasses its practical application in clinical settings as well as work on its history, philosophy, and sociology.

Medical Ethics is a program, in which students learn about behavior adjustment and formulation of moral principles governing medical professions. Medical Ethics consists of both theoretical and practical aspects. The theoretical aspect deals with the underlying principles and concepts of this science, and existing ethical theories in addition to their relationship with culture, religion and traditions of different societies. Relying on theoretical principles, the practical part covers ethical matters, problems and arguments in medicine and health care, and provides a practical framework for ethical decision-making.
