This course explores the current ethical, legal, and social landscape of human genetic analysis, focusing on the application of genome science to patient care. Students explore the manifold legal and ethical implications of genomic science, including but not limited to: 1) The ethics of care; 2) Disclosure and privacy, obtaining patient consent, ethical implications, and protocols for the use of patients in research studies, and emerging issues reporting of incidental findings; 3) Data protection; 4) Ethical and legal tensions in healthcare, with a focus on the communication of genetic findings in the paediatric setting, and for patients with religious beliefs or value systems that affect clinical care; 5) Health policy and legislature, and public health ethics. This course consists of a combination of lecture, student-directed seminar, and project-based learning and will include assessment of both individual and group work.
