    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Clinical Rounds offer the students the opportunity of acquiring basic knowledge of ethical and legal Problems in the context of difficult situations of medical decision making and health care. Invited specialist are met in their clinical context or invited to the seminar and provide their insight. This year's course is devoted to ethical issues at the end of life: companionship and care of the elderly and seriously ill children, palliative treatments and stay in hospice, provision for one's own end of life, legal, ethical and religious aspects of dealing with aging, dying and the deceased.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    Every participant does a short exercice (on moodle) in preparation of each seminar unit. Exempt from these exercises are those students who write a BA thesis in the framework of the seminar. In addition, every student is assigned a thematic group that prepares for one seminar unit more extensively. In the last seminar unit, a short multiple choice test is carried out to check the basic knowledge of law and ethics in medicine acquired during the seminar. Regular attendance is required (absence must be excused by e-mail; absence from more than one double unit must be compensated by substitute performance).

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    Participation in discussion, submission of 6 reflections of 1-2 pages, multiple choice test.

    Examination topics

    Participation (reading, participation in discussion) (10%), written reflections (in case of BA thesis: mark of BA thesis) (60%), Multiple Choice Test (30%).
