As a physician you will seek to do good by obtaining the greatest benefit for the patient" 

The decisions that a patient, in full mental and emotional capacity, makes regarding their treatment must be respected at all times. For this reason, it is often not an easy process for the family and some professionals. Thus, physicians should reflect on the advances of bioethics in today's society, since in recent years it has contributed to resolve some of the most relevant ethical issues for the discipline.  

This program will explore the various ethical dilemmas that have led to the development of new approaches in the field of health care. In this way, issues related to communication with patients and their ability to handle the reality of their diagnosis will be discussed. The discussion of assisted suicide and euthanasia will also be addressed.  

At the end of the program, the student will be able to address a hospital ethics committee to make complex decisions that require overcoming the morals and beliefs of the people involved. This will make it possible to make well-founded value judgments from an ethical point of view.
