St Mary's Univ. College, TwickenhamThe medical ethic course in St Mary's University is a large course, meant for postgraduate students. The course examines many different views of bioethics, due to the fact that a 'new medical ethic problem arises everyday', due to technology being revolutionized and creating new ways to help people, or to kill them in a way such as assisted suicide, cloning people, withdrawing treatment, and whether new research has proved that the person will never heal.
The course is based on four core modules: Human Person and Human Action, Bioethics and Medical Law, Research Methods, and Dissertation. There are other optional modules, such as: Issues at the beginning of Life, Issues at the End of Life, Professional- Patient Relationship, Religious Bioethics, and Health and Social Responsibility The course has two lessons a week, on Monday and Fridays. The perspective of the course is strongly based on the Hippocratic Oath, the oath that all doctors have to take.
