This course aims at introducing students to the field of public health ethics through learning by doing. The first part reviews the basic ethical tenets of public health practices and the brief history of public health. The second part, providing representative readings of public health ethics debates, intends to train the students to use the newly acquired knowledge to make comments on several important public health issues, which include autonomy and paternalism, justice and health, infectious disease, occupational and environmental regulation, genetics and public health.

At the end of this course students should be able to:
1.describe the nature and scope of public health;
2.compare major theories of public health ethics;
3.identify ethical issues in specific public health events; and
4.prepare ethical analysis of public health policy and practice.
