Course Description
Genetics and Medicine: Ethical, Legal and Social Issues is designed to immerse students in the emerging ethical, legal, and social issues facing the use and practice of genetics in medicine. This is a semester-long course that meets weekly for two hours. The course offers a mix of didactic content, case studies, and class discussion. This course is intended for students with graduate standing. While it is targeted toward students who have some background in human genetics, prior knowledge in this area is not necessary.
