New Course Offering in the Spring
Pharmaceutical Ethics
This
course will examine the reasons for the development of the FDA, the
approval process of drugs, and the impact of pharmaceuticals on
society. It will also introduce students to historical examples of
unethical treatment of patients that were used as a way to advance
medical science and drug development. Students will also gain an
appreciation for the economics of drug pricing, the communication of
policies mandated by the government, major pharmaceutical litigation,
the role of Wall Street and the financial markets in funding new
therapies, and the current and historic work of the NIH as it
pertains to the pharmaceutical industry.

course, please contact Ira Bedzow at ira_bedzow@nymc.edu.
