3T – IBHSC

BIOETHICS COURSE

The accredited 3T-IBHSc training course has been designed to introduce medical, dental nursing, pharmacy, and health science teaching faculty of Universities and Colleges to teach the modern vertically and horizontally integrated bioethics curriculum based on the core curriculum, which reflects the 15 principles enshrined in the UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (2005). The curriculum spans the entire training of the undergraduate and postgraduate course, and all teaching faculty will be empowered to teach bioethics with additional training and credentialing.

The course and methodology were developed by experts under the Department of Education of the UNESCO Chair in Bioethics Haifa. The 3T IBHSc program is built to Train, Teach, & Transfer (Bioethics and Human Rights knowledge) Integrated Bioethics in the Health Sciences.

The Course uses the methodology of a group of ‘Co Learners’ concept, where training faculty and participant senior teaching faculty are co-learners, using the process of ‘Learning through Osmosis.” Osmosis is the art of unconscious learning. It is where we stop studying materials and start absorbing them. This is an analogy for natural, organic, and indirect ways of learning. To learn through osmosis means a way of learning seamlessly. Learning by osmosis is also about listening. It is absorbing the principles by means of role-play, debates, cinema, street play, etc. It is how you apply meaning to what you see around you. This innate talent for plucking the meaning out of the presentations, rather than the facts and figures, is how intuition is developed, which is the pulling force that separates successful knowledge transfer.



The 3-day course has 3 components:


Part A: Bioethics and Human Rights Principles:
History, Principles, codes & Guidelines of Ethics, Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, Autonomy, Privacy Confidentiality, Informed Consent requirements, Beneficence, Non-Maleficence, Justice Equality and Equity, Human Rights, Human Dignity, Vulnerability, Gender disparity, Non-Discrimination and NonStigmatization and Environmental Ethics and Biosafety.
Part B: Bioethics Knowledge Transfer Technology:
Impact of neurocognition on teaching competencies, Ethical decision making, CaseBased Teaching, Communication, Use of Emotional Intelligence in Teaching bioethics, Ethical deliberation, innovative teaching methods, and assessment technology.
Teaching and assessing of bioethics curriculum integrated into undergraduate Medical, Dental, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Science subjects. The application of Bioethics in clinical teaching methodology in medical, dental, and nursing teaching in clinics.

Part C: Integrated Bioethics:
The workshopping of break-out groups from the various disciplines such as teaching faculties from pre-clinical subjects, para-clinical subjects, clinical subjects, dental, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and health sciences. The subject-wise curriculum is introduced with the ability of faculty to examine and produce an agreed modality and feedback regarding the introduction, teaching, and assessment of the bioethics principles as applied within the respective subjects of the course that they are mandated and accredited teachers. Planning and Integration of the bioethics curriculum into all medical and health sciences subjects.

Resultant Outcome.


The result is the ability to identify bioethical issues, apply bioethical principles, and use bioethical deliberation in decision-making and resolving ethical dilemmas. This curriculum is taught and assessed formatively and with summative assessments alongside every subject of the undergraduate training curriculum in the medical and dental education program.
