Is medical ethics a humanities course?

[LabRat86]

I know it's kind of a dumb question but, I took a one credit course in medical ethics and I am planning to ask the professor for a letter of recommendation. I was wondering if this will be considered a science or humanity course. Thank You

What was the course classified as? If it was a biology, chemistry, etc. class, then it would be science. If it a psycology, sociology, etc. class then it would be non-science.

I took medical ethics and it was listed as a philosophy - aka humanities.

Well, it was offered by the health science department and the professor has a Ph.D in Health Education so I guess I wanted to know if she is considered a non-science faculty.

Most likely humanities. And a very important course!

Medical ethics... is that like greek mythology or something?

I'm asking my prof from med eth to write me one as well, and I'll be assuming it's humanities.

Ethics falls under philosophy which is squarely in the humanities.👍

Yea I'm taking Biomedical Ethics as an elective for my philosophy major. So it counts as humanities. Although everyone beat me to it. Has anyone taken a (bio)medical ethics class before? Did you guys use a textbook?

I took medical ethics and we used a biomedical ethics book. It was actually a bioethics anthology that we read articles from...I think medical ethics & biomedical ethics are much the same thing.
