There are only 2 real subjects in the world (and they are related).  There is God, and there is creation.  Clearly studying God implies also study of Creation, BUT the study of creation does not imply, necessarily, the study of God.  At least this is the assumption people in old age made.  ANY subject whatsoever is part of the study of Creation, AND the study of creation is called Philosophy.  Hence, philosophy encompasses all subjects, except Theology.\n\nTherefore PhD's.  By the way, recently a new subject has emerged: Medicine: MD's are Medical Doctorates.  IN the modern world distinctions between different subjects are being created.  However, most of the regular subjects on which you can get a PhD were around in the Middle Ages when The Catholic Church invented the modern University, and so they inheret the terminology of the time...  Philosophy is everything, except Theology.

the pharmacological science relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects, particularly long term and short term side effect, of medicines (Source: The Importance of Pharmacovigilance, WHO 2002).\n\nIt is gaining importance for doctors and scientists as the number of stories in the media of drug recalls increases.

Philosophy is nothing but common sense in a dress suit.  ~Author Unknown\n\nThe point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.  ~Bertrand Russell\n\nMy definition [of a philosopher] is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.  ~Louisa May Alcott, in Life, Letters, and Journals, ed. E.D. Cheney, 1889\n\nTo teach how to live with uncertainty, yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do.  ~Bertrand Russell\n\nPhilosophy is a state of fermentation, a process without final outcome.  ~Esa Saarinen\n\nPhilosophy:  A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.  ~Ambrose Bierce, The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary

Our view of life influences everything we do. It resonates down to even how we think. For example back in Plato's day there were two main camps of thought. Plato and his objective world. The other camp was one which oonsidered humans as a part of the world intricately linked to it. Plato's arguements won out. The result was scientific advances but also a detachment from nature that made exploitation inevitable. \n\nOur very language contains our philosphy. Our deeds, how we approach life. By understanding this and by creating the path we set the core values of an entire society. So philosophy it turns out is not just an exercise in academics but actually an important study. At least would be if it were applied. \n\nI strongly recomend a book called "Zen and the art of motorcylce mechanics". If nothing else it will give you an aprpeciateion of the impact philosphers of the past have had.

There's no uniqueness to the system of health care ethics, there simply IS a system. If you take out the word "unique" in your question, then the answer is purley yes - we do need a system of health care ethics. Hell, we need a system of ethics in just about everything. A system of moral priniciples is crucial. It's even more crucial in the medical field, otherwise the medical field would go haywire as will society, which means: not having a system of ethics for the medical field would create a slippery slope, which then means: not having a system could lead to ultimate downfall. Thus, yes, a system of health care ethics IS needed.\n\nIf you mean "unique" as in being the ONLY one of a kind, i.e., either it's right, or it's wrong with no in-between, then the answer is not that we need, rather we cannot have a system like that because philosophers are constantly debating health care issues, or all sorts of issues for that matter, left and right. Some are for, some are against. Ethical issues will forever be debated, but the codes are set, so you can't really argue it, unless your argument could be morally justified, however what one thinks is moral justification another might not think the same way.

What is important for the students to learn and why.\n\nMost schools (districts, etc.) have a published philosophy that teachers are expected to abide by. Your philosophy may not be exactly the same, but if it's too divergent, it may be hard to work there. The more you agree with the school's philosophy, the easier it will be to do things their way.

The study of ethics is something which really will not be covered in hard sciences. Ethics are a wholly psychological and philosophical phenomena and as such would probably be a subject of study in psychology and sociology, more so the latter, but as a branch of philosophy, I'd just stick with reading up on it from a philosophical standpoint.\n\nThe issues which ethics are related to pervade all aspects of life and science but the only time a science would be in direct relation to ethics would be in say, the psychology and sociology of ethics.

Biomedical is the común med, when dr r to cientific and they dont get to know the feeling of the person and stuff like that.\nSocial is the medicine that is looking to solve the society problems, cause they think those problems r helping people to get sick. (Such es economy, pollution and stuff)\nAnd holistic studies humans, in all the way: feelings, economy, backround, hows the house they r living, causes, etc to make a diagnostic. So this kind is better. And of course they r not against natural medicine, acupunture, and all the alternatives.\nBiological only gives u a medication that haves been proved by sience.
