Through the use of case studies students will analyse profound ethical and legal challenges facing current health care that are equally important to health professionals, consumers and society generally. Additionally, students studying to work within health care, including as complementary health practitioners will develop a comprehensive understanding of the requirements for ensuring that their practice conforms to legal doctrines and ethical standards.
