The course is open to both international and Czech students; passive knowledge of English is required. The
course aims to develop practical and theoretical competencies in bioethics, focusing on up-to-date issues in clinical practice and medical research. The subject builds on the knowledge gained in the mandatory medical ethics courses (third-year GM). Each session will consist of two parts: a lecture introducing the topic and a discussion of a key text relevant to the subject. Students will develop their academic skills (close reading, discussion, argumentative skills, etc.) and gain a broad understanding of bioethical aspects of their future clinical and academic practice.
