HSC-340 Biomedical Ethics *
This course is designed to introduce the student to the relatively young
field of bioethics. Topics include procreative technologies including
in vitro fertilization, the creation and manipulation of human embryos
for research, genetic testing and interventions, and end-of-life issues
including euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Some of these
issues will be addressed in light of various ethical theories that have
been influential among both Christian and non-Christian bioethicists.
HSC-480 Internship *
A one-term training experience (120 hours) in health sciences, in either
an applied or research setting. Internships may be carried out in any
setting that is connected to health and well-being. The internship is
designed to give students an opportunity to deepen their knowledge

students in making career decisions. Students are encouraged to seek
out their own placements, although the instructor must approve all
internships. The course may include a weekly seminar.
Prerequisite: Year 4 standing in the Honours Health Sciences program
