ethical principles and theories

Ethics and ethical decision-making starts with an internal reflection on the principles, virtues, and theories of moral philosophy as well as one’s experiences. Our ethical beliefs find expression in the decisions and actions that each of us makes as part of a community. “Ethical Integrity” involves identifying one’s ethical foundations and then to incorporate those principles and virtues in a consistent manner into the context of your professional and personal life. Throughout the course, you have analyzed, interpreted and reflected upon the readings, podcasts, and discussions as they apply to healthcare administration.

Write an essay where you synthesize the content of ethical principles and theories with your interpretation/analysis and illustrate how they will impact your ethical outlook and your ethical decision-making as a leader in health care.

Please incorporate at least 5 resources/materials from the course and 2 from outside the course reading into your essay. Do not simply “re-tell” the content of the materials, but critically analyze and illustrate the meaning and application of ethics to your work in health care.

Finally, conclude the essay with your response to the question: “What does it mean to be involved in the “healing” profession?”
