MEDICAL ETHICS CLUB

CUHAS STUDENTS MEDICAL ETHICS CLUB Initiated and founded in Aug 2021by a group of students in different fulcult e.g MD1,MD2,MD3,pharmacy, laboratory course. the CUHAS medical students Ethics Club seeks to engage students in discussion and education on ethical issues in the field of medicine. At frequent lunch meetings held throughout the year, different students present ethics topics and lead discussion among the club members. These meetings provide a forum for students to express their views and at the same time prepare members for the ethical challenges they will face in practicing medicine. Also it will be an area of the students at the end of the course to have a certificate for qualification of the certificate in the end of program. Plans for the future include a blog and website that will publish summaries of all discussions in club meetings as well as the latest in medical ethics news. An online forum will also be available for students to post their own responses and foster ongoing conversations. The club also hopes to educate members on hospital ethics committees to equip them to serve in these groups at some point in their careers. As a service to the Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences - Bugando (CUHAS-BUGANDO), the club plans on providing lectures and mini-conferences led by experts in medical ethics. In these activities and more, the Medical Ethics Club will seek to exhibit leadership, honesty, integrity, compassion, respect and self-discipline through excellence in the field of ethics.
