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.
