Introduction to Bioethics: Bioethics at the Bedside

On April 15th, 2014, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University launched the world's first Introduction to Bioethics MOOC on the edX platform. Each of the course's six weeks opens with a TED-style talk from Institute director Dr. Maggie Little. This talk focuses on bioethics at the bedside: ethical issues centered on the patient encounter, including the vulnerability of illness, the importance of patient and provider autonomy, conscientious objection, and fair communication.
