THE-675 ETH CNCRN NEO-NATAL/CHLD WELF

This course explores the critical care of neonates and children who present to a health care facility (at birth or admitted as a result of disease or trauma). Children are especially vulnerable to aggressive treatment OR under-treatment (both arguably instances of child abuse). Questions of parental consent, child-liberation, and child protections are raised with reference to autonomy and non-malfeasance above other considerations. Prerequisite: THE 552 or 609 and THE 653.
