Description
Explore a unique approach to medical ethics with The Virtues in Medical Practice from Oxford University Press. This book builds a virtue-based ethics framework specifically designed for medicine and health care. It addresses the fundamental challenge of connecting individual virtues to broader ethical principles by examining the core goals of medicine and the role of the medical community as a moral entity. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how specific character traits shape professional conduct. The text provides detailed analysis of essential virtues including trust, compassion, prudence, justice, courage, temperance, and self-effacement. By looking at these qualities through separate, dedicated chapters, the book offers a structured way to view professional excellence. Beyond theoretical discussion, this work applies a virtue-based ethic to real-world dilemmas. It examines how these values impact complex issues such as caring for the poor and conducting research on human subjects. This text is an essential resource for those studying medical education and the moral foundations of health care practice.
