Medical Law and Ethics examines the legal and ethical frameworks governing the practice of medicine, focusing on the rights and responsibilities of healthcare professionals, patients, and institutions. The course explores issues such as patient confidentiality, informed consent, medical negligence, end-of-life decision-making, and the allocation of scarce resources. Through analysis of key legislation, landmark cases, and ethical principles, students develop a critical understanding of how law and ethics intersect in clinical practice, enabling them to navigate complex moral dilemmas and comply with professional standards in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
