Program Overview
This certificate offers an understanding of bioethics with elements of cultural competency and critical thinking. All students take a common course in bioethics. Students have the opportunity to choose to investigate two further issues of gender, religion, cultural competency, medical and health humanities, or pastoral care with a choice of elective courses. A capstone experience demonstrates what they have learned and augments one of their final courses.
This certificate targets the needs of healthcare students and professionals – medicine, nursing, dentistry, social work, pastoral care, allied health sciences, occupational therapy, kinesiology, and physician assistants, among others. This certificate is of interest to students planning to be physicians or nurses, work in pastoral care, pursue social work, or enter the professions of psychiatric or psychological counselling of grieving or stressed patients and family. This is an embedded certificate.
