Ethical Issues in Public Health: Course Description
Ruth Faden teaches the 'Ethical Issues in Public Health' course presented by the Department of Health Policy and Management of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The primary objective of this course is to teach students to identify and understand ethical issues in public health and health policy and recognize the difference between moral arguments or other differences of opinions. Participants will also learn how to frame their arguments, pro or con, regarding health policies and practice. The free OpenCourseWare is based on a lecture and discussion course where students get to examine topics that include obesity and the 'fat tax,' reducing the burden of infant mortality and the allocation of a scarce vaccine.
