Intro to Ethics
William Edwin Dodson, M.D., associate
vice chancellor and associate
dean for admissions, leads a discussion
with first-year medical students
about the issues explored in the
Pulitzer Prize-winning play Wit,
which was read by professional
actors during the School of Medicine's
orientation week. The play, penned
by Margaret Edison, tells the
story of an English professor
dying from ovarian cancer. The
Aug. 15 production introduced
incoming students to the experience
of medicine and provoked discussion
of medical issues ranging from
the ethics of medical research
to tensions between patients and
care providers. |
