Bioetička edukacija na Medicinskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Beogradu

Abstract

In the paper the authors expose the main points of the curricula of both basic and elective sub-jects (Medical Sociology, Medical Ethics, Introduction to Science, Communication in Medicine, History of Medicine, Population, Ecology and Medicine, Bioethics III, Bioethics IV and Bioethics V) within bioethical education at the Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade. Besides, since the authors are, in the teaching process, engaged on 9 (nine!) subjects, working with more than 2000 students per (school) year, they also describe the context (Faculty of Medi-cine University of Belgrade) in which such an enterprise – meaning, in short: a significant and influential presence of the humanities within an academic institution that was traditionally, ever since it had been founded, exclusively oriented towards natural-scientific biomedical concept – has become possible. In brief: the Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade, in fact, both its management and the professors, have recognized the humanities – bioethics in the first place – as an entirely new way of treating the very "subject" of medicine today, namely, the patient. How’s that? Well, we’ll let you know!
